Mexican companies sue Yahoo, law firm charge conspiracy to avoid $2.7 billion judgment

By Joseph Ax NEW YORK (Reuters) - Two Mexican companies have sued Yahoo! Inc and law firm Baker & McKenzie in New York federal court, accusing them of engineering a conspiracy to avoid a $2.7 billion judgment issued by a Mexico court in 2012. In a lawsuit filed on Thursday, Worldwide Directories S.A. de C.V. and Ideas Interactivas S.A. de C.V. said Yahoo and Baker & McKenzie enlisted the help of a senior Mexican judge and other court personnel to “corrupt the appeals process and overturn the judgment.” A spokeswoman for Yahoo declined to comment.
