Voil\u00e0 bien une occurrence pleine de d\u00e9sordre et de mauvaise r\u00e9putation, que ni la City<\/em> ni le Financial Times<\/em> ne go\u00fbtent : les officiels britanniques oblig\u00e9s de s’expliquer devant l’OCDE \u00e0 propos de la d\u00e9cision de Blair d’arr\u00eater l’enqu\u00eate du Serious Fraud Office sur le scandale Yamamah<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tTandis que le SFO montre son alacrit\u00e9 et son ent\u00eatement en lan\u00e7ant une nouvelle enqu\u00eate contre BAE sur un dossier sud-africain<\/a>, le dossier Yamamah<\/em> va \u00eatre pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 devant la commission ad hoc<\/em> de l’OCDE. Les Britanniques vont r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 une requ\u00eate de l’organisation internationale, \u00e9rig\u00e9e en enqu\u00eateur annexe pour la circonstance. Il s’agit d’une proc\u00e9dure compl\u00e8tement exceptionnelle, qui rend bien compte du caract\u00e8re \u00e9galement exceptionnel de l’affaire trait\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe Financial Times<\/em> nous en rapporte<\/a> avec amertume les derni\u00e8res nouvelles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe head of a committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a grouping of 30 big economies, has taken the unusual step of writing a formal letter to the Foreign Office to ask why the Serious Fraud Office stopped its investigation last month. The move means that the government faces continuing controversy over the case…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbThe letter, sent on behalf of the OECD’s working group on corporate bribery, has asked for the information to be provided ahead of what is likely to be a lively discussion of the case at a regular meeting of the group this month, which will be attended by British officials.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMark Pieth, the bribery group’s chairman, said he sent the letter just before Christmas with the approval of the group’s management committee, which includes representatives of the US, Japan, France, Sweden, Switzerland and Greece. I am not condemning Britain at the moment, Mr Pieth said. I just want to hear an explanation and it had better be a good explanation.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbA spokesman for the Foreign Office said: We have received this letter and will be responding in due course.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbMr Pieth said the case highlighted concerns raised by the OECD in a critical 2005 report on how Britain was implementing an anti-bribery convention that came into force in 1999. One was the potential conflict of interest between the attorney general’s judicial role as the government’s senior law officer and his political role as a member of the cabinet. Another was that the public- interest test for determining whether corruption cases should go ahead could be abused if strong political and economic interests were involved.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tPendant ce temps, sur l’autre front de la riposte \u00e0 la d\u00e9cision de Blair de clore l’enqu\u00eate, le gouvernement britannique a gagn\u00e9 un d\u00e9lai : \u00abLawyers for two UK-based non-governmental organisations, the Campaign against Arms Trade and Corner House Research, that have threatened a legal challenge over the case said they had agreed to hold off initiating proceedings to give the government more time to explain why the SFO had dropped the investigation.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
