thankfully the company has not been found guilty of anything....If it had then it would have meant the dole queue for a lot of British workers.
No...it was found guilty of LYING about the way it conducts business. BAE told the USG it did not bribe people and it was subsequently PROVEN that they did just that. The USG was not involved in the bribe, but they were able to prove BAE lied to them, hence the fine.
So in summary, they bribed, they cheated (other bidders), they lied, they got caught out and they were fined $400 million dollars. Hardly my definition of not being found guilty, but I suppose it all depends on when your moral compass was last swung.
