英国武装公司系统在超过中更比£1bn秘密地支付沙特王子的BAE 10年，调查显露了。
bandar王子容器苏丹根据BBC的全景节目接受了金钱以国防部的充分的知识。 BAE被送由£120m决定每年到BBC认为的二个沙特使馆帐户是“输送管道”对Bandar王子。 The prince, who was the Saudi ambassador to the US for 20 years, was the architect of the Al Yamamah deal to sell military aircraft to Saudi Arabia. The deal, worth £43bn, was signed in 1985.
David Caruso, an investigator who worked for the American bank which held the accounts, told the BBC: “There wasn’t a distinction between the accounts of the embassy, or official government accounts as we would call them, and the accounts of the royal family.”
Panorama says the payments were listed on the arms deal contract as “support services,” and were authorised every quarter by the MoD. The Serious Fraud Office discovered the payments during an investigation into the Al Yamamah deal which was halted last year after a review by the attorney general, Lord Goldsmith. He said it was in Britain’s national interest to drop the investigation.
Prince Bandar and the MoD declined to comment on the matter, and BAE said that the company acted lawfully at all times.
