Ѓ20,000 seized at home of man in BAE corruption inquiry

The Serious Fraud Office is conducting an investigation into allegations of corruption by BAE, including claims that it ran a Ѓ60m slush fund to pay off members of the Saudi royal family, and paid over Ѓ1m in Chile to intermediaries linked to the former president Augusto Pinochet.

The Romanian regime borrowed from Deutsche Bank to fund the BAE deal, with British government backing from the Export Credit Guarantee Department.

2. Wow, a type 22 frigate for a 100,000 Pounds.

That is a lot like someone selling one a Ferrari for $1000.

3. Might cost more to scrap it.

But definitely, giving them away.
