We study the decay width and CP asymmetry of the inclusive process b --> sg
g (g denotes gluon) in the three and two Higgs doublet models with complex
Yukawa couplings. We analyze the dependencies of the differential decay wid
th and CP asymmetry to the s-quark energy E-s and CP violating parameter th
eta. We observe that there exist a considerable enhancement in the decay wi
dth and CP asymmetry is at the order of 10(-2). Further, it is possible to
predict the sign of C-7(eff) using the CP asymmetry.
