LONDON--Britain's corruption investigator Wednesday said it was
continuing to probe individuals involved in a Rolls-Royce Holdings
PLC bribery case after the U.S. Department of Justice brought
charges against five individuals.
U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday unsealed charges against two former
executives of the U.K. company, a former employee, a former
intermediary in Kazakhstan and an executive of an international
engineering consulting firm.
Britain's Serious Fraud Office Wednesday said its "investigation
in respect of the conduct of individuals in Rolls-Royce Civil,
Defence, Marine and former Energy Divisions continues." It added
that it continued to cooperate with U.S. authorities in parallel
investigations.
The actions came after Rolls-Royce, best known for making
aircraft engines for Boeing Co. (BA) and Airbus SE (AIR.FR), in
January agreed to pay more than $800 million in penalties to U.S.,
British and Brazilian authorities for wrongdoing that spanned
decades and took place in multiple jurisdictions.
Rolls-Royce has said it is cooperating with authorities.
