Siemens pleaded guilty to violating accounting provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which outlaws bribery abroad.
Although court documents are salted throughout with the word "bribes," the Justice Department allowed Siemens to plead to accounting violations because it cooperated with the investigation and because pleading to bribery violations would have barred Siemens from bidding on government contracts in the United States. Siemens doesn't dispute the government's account of its actions.
Jimmy Savile. Not sure how international he was. Seemed to be very influential and connected within the UK. But I don't think he was known anywhere else or of any real value to international creeps.
Rich guy, lots of kids to molest, lots of high powered british connections. I honestly don't think savile was behind a lot of it. What scares the piss out of me is how the BBC approaches it They refuse to ask hard questions about it.
