‘Higher-ups are in our pocket’ — An aviation giant with billions in military contracts admits to bribing officials in Nepal and South Africa 

“Bribery schemes, whether based inside or outside the United States, harm consumers and companies that are trying to lawfully run their businesses. That is why this office, along with our law enforcement partners, will continue to diligently pursue any individual or company that seeks to profit through corrupt or illegal means,” said said U.S. Attorney Matthew M. Graves for the District of Columbia in a statement. Graves is pictured in 2021.
