Three executives at a UK defence contractor in Saudi Arabia who between them allegedly approved £14.5 million of irregular payments are today named by Exaro.
They had senior roles with the prime contractor on a huge contract to overhaul the Saudi national guard’s communications systems, with one previously being a civil servant at the Ministry of Defence.
