aujourd’hui<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLes Suisses veulent reprendre l’enqu\u00eate que le Serious Fraud Office a \u00e9t\u00e9 contraint d’arr\u00eater le 15 d\u00e9cembre dernier, sur ordre du gouvernement Blair. Cerise sur le g\u00e2teau, le texte du Guardian<\/em> nous apprend que les Suisses vont \u00e9galement travailler sur les accusations de corruption (avec d\u00e9p\u00f4t possible dans des banques suisses) dans des transactions portant sur le chasseur Gripen<\/em>, construit par SAAB (Su\u00e8de) mais commercialis\u00e9 par BAE, principalement celle qui porte sur la vente tr\u00e8s controvers\u00e9e de Gripen<\/em> \u00e0 l’Autriche. La r\u00e9action de BAE \u00e0 tous ces bruits pr\u00e9occupants est convaincante quoique standard : \u00abWe will not tolerate bribery.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abFederal prosecutors in Bern launched at the weekend their own official investigation into BAE, this time for alleged money laundering. Investigators there will be able to examine Swiss accounts held by billionaire middleman Wafic Said, who is regarded as a potential witness. Mr Said declines to comment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbHundreds of millions of pounds are reported to have passed through the accounts, from an offshore company secretly owned by BAE called Poseidon.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe files have been already gathered by the Swiss authorities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbThe Swiss announcement comes only days after BAE’s chairman, Dick Olver, sought to fend off corruption allegations at the company’s AGM, claiming there had been no bribes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIt marks a dramatic widening of the worldwide inquiries into Britain’s embattled arms company, and may have a significant impact on its international position.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe federal prosecutor’s office in Bern announced: Relating to BAE Systems, the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland confirms having opened its own investigation into possible money laundering.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe scope of the investigation is being kept secret, the Swiss authorities said. But they disclosed that it followed a report from the MROS, the Swiss money laundering investigative authority. Swiss banks are required by law to report suspicious transactions to the MROS.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbLast week, prosecutors from Switzerland also linked up with those from four other European countries at a meeting convened in The Hague by Eurojust, the EU’s new anti-organised crime unit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe group, from the Serious Fraud Office in Britain, Sweden, the Czech Republic and Austria, said they had joined forces to investigate bribery allegations over bids to supply Anglo-Swedish Gripen fighters. BAE said it had not been aware of the Swiss move. The firm said it had a strict ethical policy: We will not tolerate bribery.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Encore un autre front pour BAE, d\u00e9cid\u00e9ment bien \u00e0 l’ouvrage ces derniers temps. Il s’agit de la Suisse, qui vient d’ouvrir sa propre enqu\u00eate sur les fonds d\u00e9pos\u00e9s dans des banques suisses, qui seraient de l’argent de la corruption, notamment des march\u00e9s Yamamah.
