ACLN sued for allegedly releasing misleading info
NEW YORK, Dec 27 (Reuters) - The nation's biggest law firm specializing in class action litigation filed a lawsuit on Thursday against A.C.L.N. Ltd. (NYSE:ASW - news), alleging the auto transport company issued false and misleading information, including the true state of its finances.

The suit, brought by New York law firm Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach, is one of several that have been filed after A.C.L.N.'s shares plummeted last week. Reports have alleged discrepancies in the company's financial statements that are a violation of federal securities laws, said Steven Schulman, an attorney at the firm.
``We haven't quantified it yet, it's too early. But we believe the damages are very substantial,'' Schulman said.
Shares of A.C.L.N., a Belgian-incorporated company that arranges the transport of used cars from Europe to Africa, fell 64 percent to $9.40 on Dec. 20 after an article in financial news Web site TheStreet.com raised questions about its finances. The company rebutted the articles, saying that its financial statements are accurate, and that inquiries from short-sellers had damaged its business.
In a statement, Milberg Weiss said it filed a lawsuit that seeks class action status on behalf of A.C.L.N shareholders of record between June 29, 2000 and Dec. 20. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, names as defendants A.C.L.N., Chairman Joseph Bisschops, Chief Executive Officer Aldo Labiad and Chief Financial Officer Alex De Ridder.
The suit alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing ``false and misleading statements'' because they failed to describe the true state of the company's financial affairs. Among other things, the suit alleges that defendants overstated the company's assets, understated the company's expenses and failed to disclose certain transactions between Bisschops and private entities under his control.
An investor relations representative for A.C.L.N. said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
Shares of A.C.L.N. closed up 35 cents, or 3.4 percent, at $10.66 on the New York Stock Exchange. They have lost about 71 percent so far this year, against a 13 percent drop in the Standard & Poor's 500 index.
