Pity it's too late for the South African "Arms Deal" - now that was a pretty piece of corrupters and eager corruptees.

French with the Taiwanese frigates.
Italy with Allitalia and AW.

And recently, Bernie Ecclestone handing over £29 million to a guy - to go away and not talk about his tax affairs and then on top of this, he slips the German government £60 million to take the pain away also???

Well, from the Italian perspective. I'm sure the CBI in India are desperately looking for something to justify the premature cashing of guarantees by the Indian government, who appear to have behaved as judge, jury and executioner prior to any actual evidence coming to light. The fat lady is still in her dressing room doing scales. . .
