I would like to ask - is Siemens somehow unique in doing this? In the region where I live, from unofficial sources of course, I heard this is a very common practice when a company wants to win a contract...especially government one.
- ardit33 18y agoit 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.
