The information also alleges that BAE paid millions to an intermediary despite being aware of the high probability that the money was intended for a Saudi official.<br /><br />However, the allegations are made soley in the context of why BAE's prior statements to the U.S. government were false. In other words, not to support charges for the seemingly clear antibribery violations they are.
