The FBI is investigating possible cases of corruption involving a subsidiary of EADS, GPT, under contracts in Saudi Arabia for the Ministry of Defence, reported Monday the Financial Times.
The FBI questioned a witness and took possession of documents in connection with allegations that GPT bribed Saudi military officials with luxury cars and unexplained payments of $ 11.5 million (13.6 million euros), some via the United States to the bank accounts in the Cayman Islands, the daily writes.
"EADS has not been contacted by the FBI," said a spokesman for the European aerospace and defense.
