PRESSURE is mounting on top executives at Siemens after the arrest of a former senior manager in a growing investigation into possible corruption at Europe's biggest engineering company. Siemens is trying to get as much dirty deals money thrown under this carpet. Telecom vendors have every big potential contract scrutinized by a committee at the highest level before being allowed to proceed. When they evaluate the risk of such deals, it is surely comes to the table how other vendors competing for the same deal are doing or with whom they are allied with. Those payments to grease the deal certainly are discussed. And are certainly known by the top management.
