That's corruption in Saudi Arabia.
- jlmendezbonini 14y agoI'm unaware whether it's accounted as corruption only in Saudi Arabia but bribery is illegal in U.K so the fact that the government is refusing to investigate would be perceived as corruption where I come from. "The Bribery Act creates the following offences: * Active bribery: promising or giving a financial or other advantage. * Passive bribery: agreeing to receive or accepting a financial or other advantage. * Bribery of foreign public officials. * The failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery by an associated person (corporate offence)." http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/global-issues/conflict-minerals/legally-binding-process/uk-bribery-act http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/global-issues/conflict-minerals/leg...
