Background search
Mood of airbus bribing scandals
Ghana bought three military planes – C295S – from Airbus. The nation was given the first C295 in November 2011. years. Another plane was received in April 2012. year and third in November 2015 years.
John Dramani Mahama, former president and now the flag holder for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was the vice president at the time the incident happened.
The offers that cover them at the time are in line with the Strategic Plan 2009-2012.
All three purchases, approved by the Ghana Assembly after heated disagreement on the floor, the government ruled the Government of the day as a ride to modernize the Ghana Air Force.
Financing to purchase aircraft
Financing for the first two C295S came from a loan plant of 60,034,636 euros from Deutsche Bank Sae
The following 11,750,000 million euros of Loans Fortion Bank Ghana also approved parliament during the period for acquiring two aircraft to surveillance Ga2 MPP Gardian for Ghana Airforce.
The house also approved the total loan amount of HRK 105,370,177.09 from the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) for the purchase of jet coal embraer E190 for the country. The ground floor agreement was to cover connected spare parts, relevant accessories, as well as the construction of the hangar airplane is large enough to cover three large aircraft.
Before the parliamentary approval of the loan contract, the leader of the Minority, Kiei-Mensah-Bonsu scored questionnaires and questionable and non-transparent, adding that the government was subparagrated contracts.
It is known that he knew the figures obtained from the Internet to return his claims, but it was despised because he was no longer acting than relies on Google to appear such serious impoveria.
One of the C295s acquired under the assembled support missions that led the United Nations in Mali. The rest was purchased, because the government at the time supports the strategic operations of the Ghana Air Force operations, including oversight areas of oil production fields in the country, border patrol, pilot training and internal transportation of troops.
In November 2014, then President John Mahama announced that Ghana planned to acquire more military equipment, including five super tuhanos, Mi-17s and four Z-9S, for air heaven.
At that time, it was said that the troops in Ghana largely rely on civil flights for their movements and a military plane needed to correct this anomaly. Despite opposition criticism, the government continued to buy agreements.
Judgment of the Judicial Court
The recent Judgment of Crown Court in Southweight in Soucewa that he now gave new life to earlier doubts that the agreements covered by C295S are particularly damaged. Decision of 21. January 2020. approved a delayed Prosecution Agreement (DPA) between a serious office of airbus, after investigations exposed to mass scandals in accordance with the plane producer in the violation of the AKTRA.
English law enables SFO to delay the prosecution of an organization based on the agreement between SFO and companies or companies that are suspected of committed economic crimes.
Such an agreement – (DPA) – requires the seal of the judicial approval to become legitimate and may also enable that the offensive institution may fully avoid the Prosecution.
The Court considers himself in his decision on such applications, among other things, whether the DPA or not before it is in the public interest.
Also, the conditions of the agreement must be fair, reasonable and proportionate.
In this case, the Court found that the DPA was in the public interest and that the conditions agreed to meet the tests of fairness, reasonableness and proportionality.
The court took over the opinion that now prosecution of Airbus would be among other things, led to mass losses of work and decade the performance of the company’s performance at the exchanges in the long run.
Independent assessments suggest that Airbus could easily bleed about 200 billion pounds in the long run if he faces the prosecution immediately.
The verdict stated that SFO investigations revealed that Airbus has since agreed to pay for over 3 billion pounds in the schemes involved that the bribery of influencing contracts were entered in countries such as Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Indonesia and Ghana.
The French and American authorities also found similar evidence of alleged bribery involving Airbus officials and their agents in other countries, including Russia and China.
In the case of Ghana, Crown Court emphasizes cases in Airbus officials, as part of the scheme to obtain or hold agreements with the Government with close links with high-state official officials claiming to have an impact on Aircraft purchase plans in the country between 2011 and 2015 years.
The court documents did not mention any names, but the time frame specified in the verdict covered several periods of the Mills-Maham.
The first agreement to pay a bribe in Ghana should include about 5 million euros, which was disguised in the intermediary – “mediator 5” – engaged in Airbus to promote its proposal to sell two aircraft C295 in Ghana. Exposed suspicious arrangements and money is not paid for money.
Finally, the process tests are due suspected arrangements and money was not paid.
The subsequent approaches to Airbus succeeded, resulting in Ghan, aircraft purchase of 3 C259 through multinational Spanish defense branches in separate times.
The divisions are arranged through a series of intermediaries, which is in charge of “Mediator 5”, said it was unnamed in relation to a strong Ghanaous official who was in deciding in making decision-making on the proposed agreements for the purchase of aircraft.
However, after the internal investigation, she exposed the bond between intermediaries of the 5-banked high-ranking government Ghani official, scheme that the parties set up a transaction across the third party of Spanish origin, which did not have the company’s previous jobs.
The Spanish company was passed away as a facilitator of proposed plane purchase agreements when actually only inserted in the conditions for circumventing conditions for giving questionable transaction clean health account. After the agreement with Gano, under which two aircraft, Airbus or its agents relied on false representations and documentation to pay a bribe to a near third party company, which in turn focused payment in converted usal . .
Payments were disguised as a committee for the amount of the contract. The company of the Spanish third party pulled out from the subsequent job Ghana surrendered to his third plane C259. This was after Airbus hired an external defense counsel to do owe and him. The intermediary specifically claims that Airbus owed him about 1.6 million euros under the contract covered by the third C295 is not honored.
DPA does not mean that Airbus and its immune officials are criminal prosecution for alleged crimes.
According to English law, SFO is entitled to this, in due course, processing of Airbus if convinced that the company has not approved the Court in accordance with the CDS.
Indeed, the current investigation means that, while SFO could, in the light of Airbus’ cooperation, he survived the aircraft manufacturer, perhaps, after investigations bring criminal actions against persons who actually paid or received bribes.
Such a move is likely to include intermediaries in Ghana and related individuals. In such a case, SFO may rely on the provisions of mutual legal aid (MLA) under English law to set relevant costs.
