Australians held over alleged SL bribes_我的网站

一 | Canberra, Oct 11 (UNI) Two Australian men have been charged with bribing Sri Lankan officials to secure infrastructure contracts worth millions of dollars.
Australian police arrested the pair last month after a decade-long investigation spanning several countries, BBC reported.
The men, aged 67 and 71, worked for a company which has been accused of misconduct in South Asian countries, it said.
They are yet to respond to the charges and will face court.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) say the men arranged bribes of more than A$304,000 ($190,000) to government officials between 2009 and 2016.
The bribes were allegedly made in the pursuit of two Sri Lankan projects -- which police did not name -- worth A$14m.
The charges follow an investigation into SMEC International Pty Ltd, an Australian-based engineering firm, which involved authorities from the US, Canada, India and elsewhere, the BBC reported.
More arrests and charges are possible, the AFP said.
"Corruption undermines fair competition and can have disastrous consequences for developing economies, global anti-poverty and development efforts," Detective Supt Helen Schneider said.
Originally known as the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corp, SMEC was formed in 1949 to build an iconic Australian infrastructure project. It has since grown to employ 5,400 staff in many countries.
In 2017, the World Bank temporarily barred SMEC and four subsidiaries in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from bidding for any of its contracts, the report said.
The World Bank said it had discovered evidence linking the company to suspected "inappropriate payments" in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
At the time, a spokesperson for SMEC said the allegations did not relate to any Australian projects, and that the company would continue to strengthen its corporate integrity compliance programmes.
Protests erupted in Sri Lanka this year over corruption allegations and the country's worst economic crisis in history, it said.

三 | 这些指控与Ponsonby一家零售商据称于2023年12月21日和23日发生的事件有关。” Ghahraman预计将于2月1日在奥克兰地区法院出庭。警方表示：“警方正在继续调查，但鉴于案件已提交法院审理，我们无法进一步置评。” 《刑法》(Crimes Act) 规定，如盗窃财物价值超过$1000，可被判处七年以下监禁。如被盗财物的价值超过$500，但不超过$1000，可被判处不超过一年的监禁；如被盗财物的价值不超过$500，可被判处不超过三个月的监禁。今天早些时候，警方在Ghahraman位于奥克兰Grey Lynn的家中与她进行了交谈。对面的邻居告诉英文《先驱报》，他今天早些时候看到警察在其街区的街道上。
