 SAUDI'S BANDAR RECEIVES $2b FROM BAE |
|
LONDON [MENL] -- A leading Saudi prince was said to have received about $2
billion in bribes from BAE Systems.The London-based Guardian newspaper reported on Thursday that Saudi
Prince Bandar Bin Sultan, the kingdom's national security adviser, received
1 billion British pounds to facilitate BAE contracts with Riyad. The British
daily, which has written a series of stories on the Saudi-BAE connection,
asserted that for more than a decade Bandar received secret payments from
BAE through a U.S. bank in Washington."It is claimed that payments of £30m [pounds] were paid to Prince Bandar
every quarter for at least 10 years," the Guardian said.The alleged disclosure comes amid international protests against
Britain's decision to terminate a police investigation of BAE. The company
was alleged to have established a $100 million slush fund for Saudi princes
responsible for military procurement.
