Eight former executives and contractors of Siemens,the German industrial giant,have been charged with criminal bribery in a decade-long effort to help the company secure a $1 billion contract to produce Argentinas national identity cards,the US Justice Department announced Tuesday.
The individuals conspired to pay more than $100 million in bribes to high-level Argentine officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,the department said.
