As the Federal Trade Commission’s quest to unscramble Ottobock’s consummated acquisition of Freedom Innovations began yesterday in its administrative tribunal, the commission sued in Washington, DC, federal court for a preliminary injunction against Tronox’s acquisition of Cristal’s titanium dioxide business. If that sounds familiar, it may be because the agency already has a decision pending on Tronox/Cristal from the same administrative law judge hearing Ottobock/Freedom. Check out coverage of both of those, as well as one of the top criminal enforcers in the US heading to private practice after 32 years working for the government.
