Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Israel, Iran, and the United States

Product Information

The Ericsson List is based on leaked internal Ericsson compliance reports that identify a culture of graft so widespread that company officials exploring the matter compiled a spreadsheet of investigations into employees’ alleged corrupt practices around the globe. Among the “breaches” identified were bribery, fraud, money laundering and obstruction of the investigation. In response, Sunwater identified 96 separate documents captured by the scope of the request, but refused to disclose any of those documents, arguing that they were exempt from disclosure as this would breach contractual obligations of confidentiality.

‘Bribes, kickbacks and embezzlement’

During the campaign, Zelenskiy transferred his 25 percent stake in an offshore company to a close friend who now works as the president's top adviser, the files suggest. Anti-corruption watchdogs, including Transparency International, say deeply entrenched corruption exacerbated by weak institutions and political patronage remains rampant and is a core grievance among ordinary Iraqis. What charges were resolved by the Ericsson settlement? According to the report, Al-Awsat also secretly paid for air fares for executives at Iraq’s state-owned telephone company. Al-Awsat steered work to firms owned by family members and friends, the report says. But numerous close associates do, including his best friend from childhood -- the late Petr Kolbin -- whom critics have called a "wallet" for Putin's own wealth, and a woman the Russian leader was allegedly once romantically involved with. None responded to invitations to comment.

The Pandora papers are also threatening to cause a political upset in Cyprus, itself a controversial offshore centre: its president, Nicos Anastasiades, may be asked to explain why a law firm he founded was accused of hiding the assets of a controversial Russian billionaire behind fake company owners. Rasech Barzani did not respond to requests for comment. Sirwan Barzani didn’t respond to questions about Korek’s relationship with Ericsson. In a statement, a spokesman emphasized Barzani’s history of fighting ISIS, also known as Daesh.

‘Close ties pull strings’

It is not clear how much the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission knew about abuses in Iraq or whether Ericsson fully disclosed its internal findings to the agencies. The Justice Department and SEC declined to comment on any aspect of the Ericsson case. Simpson Thacher did not respond to requests for comment. Ericsson tried to keep up by outsourcing work to local sales agents and other middlemen, distancing itself from the sometimes dirty business of securing contracts and doing business in developing countries. In the case that led to the 2019 settlement, the U.S. described slush funds, inflated costs, false invoices, rigged bidding, unvetted middlemen and bribery in five countries — the same pattern of behavior the internal review describes in Iraq. To complete this quest, leave the village hub, select evening, and then go and drop down to the middle Catavan Stand. This is very near a pathway that leads past a lot of aerodrome to the volcanic area. There is a web in that corrido and it has a chance to spawn the Knight Crider Webs. Get it and return to the quest giver and give him the Knight Criber Webs and the quest will be completed. Nepal's richest man Binod Chaudhary as well as other prominent businessmen from the country were named in the leaks. You will get two Vital Essence as a reward for completing this quest along with its crafting recipe. If you want to craft Vital Essence you will need raw meat, toadstools, and girthy garlic. These items are rare, so it means that they can’t be found easily, however, if you go around gathering berry piles on the ground (red or blue) there’s a chance that girthy garlic pops up. If you go to the Pyarer Pots and you pray for the gathering prayer, the chance of rare items will be increased. If you want to farm these potions you will have to get these items and craft them.

An Ericsson subsidiary, Ericsson Egypt Ltd., pleaded guilty to the criminal charges of taking part in a scheme to bribe foreign government officials and falsify books and records. Who are some of the key individuals named in the leak?Rafiah Ibrahim, the company executive in charge of the Middle East and Africa, endorsed the donation to “try to get mileage from the Korek chairman,” the report says. Ericsson funneled the money through a charitable group. Internal investigators couldn’t identify the ultimate beneficiaries. Excerpt from the leaked Ericsson report.

Once again Britain’s role as an enabler of global corruption and money laundering has been exposed with the same loopholes exploited to funnel suspect wealth into the country," said Duncan Hames, Director of Policy at Transparency International UK. ICIJ and its partners verified the leaked internal records’ authenticity and spent months examining scores of other documents. Journalists also interviewed a former Ericsson contractor kidnapped by ISIS, former employees of Ericsson, government officials, contractors and other industry insiders in Iraq, the United Kingdom, the United States, Jordan, Lebanon and elsewhere. The Sunrise Project has requested an external review of Sunwater’s refusal to disclose the documents. As a water service provider, Sunwater supports all industrial, irrigation and urban customers through access to a commercial water supply,” a spokesperson said.

‘The legal way or the Speedway’

The Pandora Papers have minute details of company correspondence, shares and money transfers and other transactions between Chaudhary family members and partners. Some of the names mentioned are Pakistani, Singaporean, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi.
