By TRN Online, Kathmandu, Mar. 11: The Department of Revenue Investigation (DRI) has filed a case against the multinational company Coca-Cola for tax evasion.

The DRI filed the case at the Patan High Court today charging the Bottlers Nepal Limited, a subsidiary of Coca-cola, of tax evasion of Rs. 3.71 billion and the same amount as fine.

The case demands a sum of Rs. 7.43 billion to be retrieved from the company.
