Former SunEdison Executives File Whistleblower Lawsuits

Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

Two former executives at SunEdison Inc., the solar-power company that filed for bankruptcy protection last year, filed whistleblower lawsuits claiming they were fired after sounding the alarm about the company’s precarious finances, the Wall Street Journal reported. Carlos Domenech and Pancho Perez, who held senior positions at two SunEdison subsidiaries, last week sued their former employers and top officials including former SunEdison Chief Executive Ahmad Chatila. They are seeking back pay and damages for what they say were retaliatory firings after they voiced concerns to senior management and the board.
