Anheuser-Busch sued its suitor, InBev, calling the brewer's takeover attempt an "illegal plan and scheme" to acquire Anheuser "at a bargain price".

The maker of Budweiser beer filed the suit yesterday in US District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri, where it is based.

The suit seeks an injunction to stop InBev from furthering its consent solicitation to replace Anheuser's board until certain alleged false and misleading statements are fixed.
