WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is seeking to wrest control of failed solar-panel firm Solyndra LLC from company management and place it in the hands of a court-appointed trustee.
In a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, the Justice Department said it was seeking the appointment of a trustee because Solyndra’s management is refusing to answer questions about its finances and operations.
The United States Trustee, an arm of the Justice Department, didn’t allege any wrongdoing but said “the inability or refusal of the corporate officers to answer material questions … establishes cause for the appointment of a trustee.”
