Associated Press is reporting that 3 of the 22 defense industry contractors arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada and Miami, Florida this week during a bribery sting are of Israeli origin, and were working for Israeli-based firms.
The sting was part of an FBI operation targeting corrupt contractors who were attempting to bribe who they believed was a procurement officer from an African country seeking to outfit a presidential guard unit; actually an undercover agent. An off-the-books “commission” of 20% was to be attached to the final formal deal.
Now, please mind the source - it's a Palestinian news site - so it could've been a pretty minor offense that they're pumping up. But usually when the FBI is involved, it's kinda serious.
