  • Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) has fired 8 execs, including senior sales/marketing execs, following the recent launch of a bribery probe.
  • An internal memo picked up by Reuters indicates the execs were generally accused of "criminal behavior" and breaking with "company morality," but doesn't give details. The memo also states legal authorities have begun investigations, and that 5 of the execs have been detained.
  • Reuters notes Baidu has 180+ employees at the director level, and (like other major Chinese tech companies) entire departments focused on uncovering misbehavior.
