More BAE shenanigans

Earlier this year, I did a blog entry on the furore surrounding the Blair Government decision to drop the corruption probe into a massive defence deal involving BAE Systems, the world's fourth largest defence contractor, and saudi arabia.

Now the Financial Times reports that Saudi officials had paid for "support services". The disclosures were made under the freedom of information laws. The disclosures don't reveal what exactly these services were but it sounds very cosy.

How cosy?

Well, over the weekend, the Sunday Times revealed that BAE allegedly paid actresses tens of thousands of pounds to actresses to entertain Saudi Prince Turki bin Nasser and other senior Saudis at lavish parties.

This one is not going away. Watch this space for more revelations about the BAE's dirty deals.
