FedEx Fights U.S. in Online-Pharmacy Probe After UPS Deal - Bloomberg
The latest fight against a government investigation that might compromise customer privacy isn’t coming from a phone or Internet company. It’s coming from FedEx Corp. (FDX)
The operator of the world’s largest cargo airline vows to fight any charges that may result from a federal investigation into drug shipments by illegal online pharmacies -- bucking both government investigators and rival United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS), which settled similar allegations.
FedEx finds itself a target of a criminal probe after decades of working with law enforcement agencies to combat attempts to use its network illegally. An indictment or prosecution would threaten a basic tenet of the shipping business -- not opening customers’ packages to see what’s inside, FedEx said.
