Fluor, Officials Accused

Fluor Corp. and its top officials have been accused in a lawsuit of lying about the company’s fortunes to mislead investors and protect corporate profit sharing and stock option plans.

The suit, filed in federal court in Santa Ana late last week by a San Diego lawyer specializing in securities suits, seeks class-action status to represent all Fluor shareholders.

The Irvine-based construction and engineering services company on Monday denied the allegations.
