REUTERS/Joshua Roberts/Files(Reuters) - Lawyers are investigating Meta Platforms Inc's outgoing operations chief Sheryl Sandberg's use of company resources over several years, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Meta and Sandberg did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Chief Growth Officer Javier Olivan is set to take over as chief operating officer although Zuckerberg said he did not plan to replace Sandberg's role directly within the company's existing structure. Sandberg said that she will continue to serve on Meta's board after leaving the company in the fall.
