IOI Corp says to assist if US probes alleged forced labour

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Palm oil company IOI Corp Bhd on Friday said it would assist in any investigation after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said in a letter to an activist that it was probing the firm over forced labour allegations.

Migrant rights activist Andy Hall told Reuters he had petitioned the CBP over concerns of forced labour indications in IOI's operations, as alleged by the workers.
