Price-Fixing Probe Targets Midwest Oil Buyers
A federal grand jury in Oklahoma City has subpoenaed records of about a dozen major oil purchasers operating in Kansas, Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle. The inquiry, led by the Justice Department antitrust division, aims to probe alleged price fixing among refiners and crude buyers in three states. Wichita Eagle Beacon reported the investigation, and Justice officials cautioned they cannot identify targets or details.
