Former Attorney General rebuffs reports on Airbus bribery claims
Our attention has been drawn to media reports about a Deferred
Prosecution Agreement (DPA) entered between Airbus SE and the United
Kingdom Serious Fraud Office in respect of the practice of Airbus SE in
paying commission to its agents and the use of those commissions.
The reports alleging that Airbus SE paid bribes during the
administration of President John Evans Atta Mills and John Dramani
Mahama are false, misleading and do not reflect the Approved Judgment.
Indeed, the Approved Judgment of the Crown Court of Southwark approving
the DPA between Airbus and the UK Serious Fraud Office does not allege
that any payment was made by Airbus to any Ghanaian Government official.
It is therefore a gross distortion for the media to conclude that
officials of the Ghana Government between 2009 and 2015 were bribed or
paid any commissions by Airbus for the acquisition of the Casa C-295
aircrafts.
