The Washington state attorney general is expected to file a lawsuit seeking to block the proposed merger between Kroger (KR) and Albertsons (ACI) as soon as Thursday afternoon, Leah Nylen and Anna Edgerton of Bloomberg report, citing a person familiar with the plan. The lawsuit is expected to be filed in state court, said the person. The Federal Trade Commission and a group of other states that are also probing the deal aren’t involved in the Washington state lawsuit, the source told Bloomberg. Any lawsuit by the FTC would likely be filed in federal court, the news agency added.
