Thales S.A.: 20 June 2024 (AFP): on 3 June 2024 France's PNF requested that Thales (holding company) and two of its subsidiaries, DCNI, three former executives (incl. ex-Thales International president Jean-Paul Perrier) and an intermediary be sent to criminal trial over suspected bribery of a foreign public official in the 2002 sale of Scorpene/Agosta submarines to Malaysia; Thales mainly for complicity in active bribery of a foreign public official. Thales firmly contests the facts; final decision on trial rests with the investigating judge. (Source: marine-oceans.com (unofficial web source) — Low · marine-oceans.com/…)

Thales International Asia (Thint Asia): Malaysia Scorpene case (AFP, June 2024): one of the contracts under suspicion provided for DCNI to pay EUR30 million in "export costs" to Thales subsidiary Thales International Asia (Thint Asia), which paid a comparable sum for "consulting" to local firm Terasasi, whose main shareholder was intermediary Abdul Razak Baginda; French investigators suspect the money channelled alleged bribes. Allegation; trial requested by PNF, contested by Thales. (Source: marine-oceans.com (unofficial web source) — Low · marine-oceans.com/…)

Thales S.A.: Nov 2024: Thales said the joint SFO/PNF probe concerns "the performance of a contract in Asia" and focuses on four entities in France and the UK; a French judicial source told Reuters it relates to an arms contract in Asia with possible charges of bribery of a foreign public official, influence trafficking, handling stolen goods and money laundering; two sources said it at least partly involves a deal in Indonesia. Thales denies the allegations. Ongoing. (Source: abc.net.au (unofficial web source) — Low · abc.net.au/…)

Allegations untested; pending trial. (Source: joburgetc.com (unofficial web source) — Low · joburgetc.com/…)
