#12The article failed to mention that Siemens' auditors, KPMG, were also implicated and that they are being dropped by Siemens.

#13Earlier quoted context omitted.
it is kinda of a sham when EU countries go around and tell less developed countries to "curb their corruption", while their darling corporates are a major contribution to global corruption, and that has been allowed for so long.
I especially could not stand the EU vs. Microsoft case where those jackasses heaped on tons of fines to basically siphon a few billion dollars away from a US corporation. As much as I know MS has their issues with anti-trust, boy did that piss me off.
Those guys should be in jail, not paying fines. It's too bad it took a foreign country to even levy a fine.

#14Who cares about the payer of a bribe, what about the recipient? That's far more important.
