U.S. authorities looking into Murdoch foreign payments | Reuters

U.S. authorities looking into Murdoch foreign payments | Reuters:

"(Reuters) - U.S. authorities are stepping up investigations, including an FBI criminal inquiry, into possible violations by employees of Rupert Murdoch's media empire of a U.S. law banning corrupt payments to foreign officials such as police, law enforcement and corporate sources said. U.S. investigators have found little to substantiate allegations of phone hacking inside the United States by Murdoch journalists, the sources added."

Comment.....Bribe is a bribe in any language...

Comments from other people.....1. Smells like another Obama administration political witch hunt. How about looking into GE’s bribery of foreign government officials to sell their union made crap. No, that’s right, GE is an Obama bundler.

2. Straus-Kahn, Berlosconi, Corzine, Murdoch…seems like someone is cleaning up the ‘old boys club’ bit by bit. Strange things are afoot.

3. All this crime and the boss has so far only had to put his kid up to face a “parliamentary inquiry”, which was paused to stop bad news disturbing the AGM.
