Now to the...News of the day

I'm sure most of you know about the fraud scandal that rocked Siemens a few years ago...the bribes given so they can be awarded lucrative contracts in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens...the 100million Euros that was diverted... the $1.8billion used to illegally win foreign contracts...etc etc...

Well, Siemens has been fined $100million by the World Bank

Read the story below...

The World Bank Group has announced a comprehensive settlement with Siemens AG in the wake of the company’s acknowledged past misconduct in its global business and a World Bank investigation into corruption in a project in Russia involving a Siemens subsidiary. The settlement includes a commitment by Siemens to pay $100 million over the next 15 years to support anti-corruption work, an agreement of up to a four-year debarment for Siemens’ Russian subsidiary, and a voluntary two-year shut-out from bidding on Bank business for Siemens AG and all of its consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates.

As part of the settlement, Siemens has also agreed to co-operate to change industry practices, clean up procurement practices and engage in collective action with the World Bank Group to fight fraud and corruption. Siemens will also provide information on any additional cases of wrongdoing to the Bank’s Institutional Integrity Vice Presidency (INT), which investigates fraud and corruption in Bank Group-financed activities.
Incredible!
