“Target Corp. filed a federal racketeering lawsuit in Minneapolis Friday, alleging that it has been systematically defrauded by a contractor it hired in 2009 to oversee about $100 million in repairs and maintenance on its parking lots around the country.
The company alleges that LCH Pavement Consultants of Pearland, Texas, conspired with paving contractors in California, Wisconsin, Texas and Illinois to inflate prices, rig bids, fix prices, misrepresent work being done and distribute kickbacks.
It’s unclear from the lawsuit how much Target claims it was damaged, though it appears to be in the millions of dollars. The company is seeking triple damages, with the precise amount to be proven at trial.”
