  Posted by Billbar from Reuters
  Shares in BAE, Europe's biggest military contractor, fell as much as 10 percent in early Tuesday trading on fears the probe could lead to fines, disrupt the group's extensive interests in the United States, and damage its relations with Saudi Arabia.

- BAE: the scandal that won't go away
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The US Department of Justice is about to launch a criminal probe into the world's fourth largest arms dealer, BAE, over its corrupt dealings with Saudi Arabia. Bad for BAE, which is trying to make the Pentagon its biggest customer, and bad for Gordon Brown who takes over from Tony Blair as British PM.

- Push for BAE judicial inquiry
  Posted by SoxFirst
  Anti-arms groups are moving to have the Blair Government decision to drop its probe into BAE's dubious dealings with Saudi Arabia reviewed. They have appointed a top flight legal team on to the case. Also, there are parallel proceedings from the discovery that BAE had obtained an email containing the groups' privileged legal advice.

  Saudi officials paid for "support services" from BAE. We don’t know what exactly these services were but we do know that BAE allegedly paid actresses tens of thousands of pounds to entertain Saudi Prince Turki bin Nasser and other senior Saudis at lavish parties.
