Thales, a major defense and electronics company, is under investigation for bribery and corruption by French and British authorities, according to the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO). The specifics of the allegations remain undisclosed, but earlier reports suggested the inquiry may involve military equipment deliveries to Brazil or a weapons contract in Asia. Thales, which employs over 2,000 in the Netherlands, is cooperating with authorities and maintains compliance with regulations. The SFO emphasizes the importance of collaboration with French agencies to combat international corruption.
