"The Australian Wheat Board (AWB) was involved in a big bribery scandal that came to light in 2006. The AWB had bribed Iraqi officials to get better market access to the country (at the time Australia controlled 90% of the Iraqi wheat market). These bribes were not just illegal, according to Australian law, but breached the rules of the UN Food-for-oil-program. An inquiry was formed and has been re-opened in 2014. AWB was a former government body that was privatized in 1999. The Australian prime minister at the time claimed to have been unaware of the case. However, //cables// suggested he had knowledge of the deal."

Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass hier keine "Telegramme" gemeint sind.

Irgendwie glaube ich schon zu wissen, was hier gemeint ist: Vorgehensweisen der Regierung, die darauf schließen lassen, dass sie Bescheid wusste, Aussagen von Informanten...

- oder sollte ich komplett falsch liegen?

Danke im Voraus!
