The U.S. Justice Department has closed its inquiry into CHS and will not be taking any action against the cooperative. CHS informed DOJ and Securities and Exchange Commission in 2018 that payments were made to Mexican customs officials between 2015 and 2016. The transactions were tied to grain shipment inspections. In a statement, a CHS spokesperson said “reporting this matter to the Department of Justice was the right thing to do, and we appreciate the opportunity to cooperate with the agency during its review.” A SEC civil investigation remains underway.
