Alstom asserts it was victim of corruption
Alstom, a major engineering company and builder of power plants, allied itself on Friday with French prosecutors in a bribery investigation by formally asserting that it was a victim of corruption.
This was an answer given by Neil Barofsky, Special Inspector General for the Trouble Assets Relief Program, at a Senate Judiciary Hearing, when asked by Committee Chairman Partrick Leahy, whether or not he thought fraud contributed to the economic crisis.
