2001 (Reforma/Infolatina via COMTEX) -- Mexico's Comptroller General has
reopened an investigation into allegedly fraudulent export certificates
submitted by leading sugar company Consorcio Azucarero Escorpion (Caze) in
order to qualify for government marketing assistance, according to a
report in Mexico City daily Reforma. Last year, members of the National

regarding Caze's alleged used of fraudulent export certificates. The
renewed investigation is still in an early stage, Reforma business
