U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart stores in southwest China's Chongqing allegedly sold about 63,547 kg of falsely labeled pork over the past two years, generating approximately 730,000 yuan (US$114,500) in illegal income.
A total of 37 people have been implicated in the scandal so far, with 25 detained, seven under home arrest and three released on bail in addition to the two who were arrested, according to local police.
The CEO of Wal-Mart's entire Chinese operation and its head of human resources have both resigned citing personal reasons.
