Compliance with anti-corruption laws in the US and all international markets, including India, is a key priority,” said Walmart in a statement. It further added: “We respect the ruling of the Delhi High Court”. CVC had initiated an investigation into the retail company after a US-based media house had reported that Walmart had allegedly bribed Indian government officials to obtain custom clearances and permission to open and run stores here.
