"Bullshit Castle"
Ghana is one of five countries in which the European aviation giant, Airbus, is alleged to have paid millions of dollars in bribes in exchange for contracts, leading to a court in Britain slapping a hefty fine of £3 billion on the company.
In court documents and hearings, Airbus admitted five counts of failing to prevent bribery, using a network of secret agents to pay large-scale backhanders to officials in foreign countries, including Ghana, to land high-value contracts.
The scheme was run by a unit at Airbus’ French headquarters, which its one-time chief executive, Tom Enders, reportedly called “bullshit castle”.
According to the report, there are six key actors involved in the scandal regarding Ghana.
Investigators from the UK’s SFO identified them only as Government Official 1 (high ranking and elected), Intermediary 5 (British national and a close relative of Government Official 1), Company D (corporate vehicle for Intermediary 5 – shareholder), Intermediary 6 (British national and associate of Intermediary 5), Intermediary 7 (British national and associate of Intermediary 5), as well as Intermediary 8 (Spanish company and front for Intermediary 5).

Are you saying the was no financial loss caused in this scandal? If you inflate the price of a plane and then ask the seller to give you back part of the money as bribe, is that not financial loss? You sit in the comfort of your room of public opinion and pass wrong judgement. If you think there is no wrongdoing, then allow the legal process to go on so that at the end of the day we shall see if indeed no financial loss was caused. It is taxpayers' monies we are talking about, so let the taxpayers comment on the issues. If you are also a taxpayer, then you must also show concern and stop this NDC-NPP polarization of issues.
Clear symptoms of a failed government. What kind of corruption are you fighting again after you forced Auditor-General out of office. What financial lost has this Airbus thing caused to Ghana? Investigate Osafo Marfo for causing financial lost to Ghana for paying millions of dollars to a company for no work done. There are a lot of issues in Ghana:hardships, incompetent handling of Covid-19 pandemic. You cant use this airbus thing to divert attention. We are wiser than that. Even NAM1 is walking free after so-called interpol arrest. This really reinforces the incompetence and liability of Bawumia and Akuffo Addo Government. If indeed you are anxious to fight corruption, please allow Mr. Demelovo the Auditor-General to resume work and most Ghanaians will now believe you.
Well those who think this is fake news show go with the FAKE PENTECOST ELDER because we’re not going to fly on Airbus with an incompetent pilot through dumso to IMF anymore when babies with sharp teeth are on board and land us on Woyomey’s backyard. I know there could be Ford Expedition to take us by land but we will rather prefer bus branding driven by Ativor in the middle of berko power bribery crisis which indicates government official 1 so I decree like the Jews said never again to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
Oh NDC! The Airbus saga won't go away. Coming to power again is a farfetched dream. Opposition forever.
so what is john mahama picture doing on the frontpage of this article? is he the one wanted by the interpool. when you get info , peace fm pls cross check before publishing.. this is a fake news from inception. respect your readers.
So when Joy online pasted this news yesterday non of these non card bearing members/sympathizers of ndc didn't see or heard it,. When education was expensive u couldn't afford it now it is low cost and somehow free, still you don't want to take advantage of it so you come here and disgrace your selves by mouth. Live and Learn
I really don't understand some of my fellow Ghanaians. Why are you people attacking Peace Fm? Do you people think any media house in their right senses just put up a fake story to tarnish their own image? What is the fake news here, that ex prez Mahama's brother wanted as Interpol issues red alert? How can this be fake? You people are being blinded by politics. NDC cannot shut down Peace Fm if they should win.
Please concentrate on improving your poor handling of COVID and security issues in the country and allow interpol do their job. We voted you in and we will vote you out regardless of whatever
Young people never learn. Instead of us to keep watch and learn so we also do not become victims of such, we choose to insult insult and insult again and then, "the big men" will return and use us again and again...
When NDC comes to power media houses like PeaceFM must be shut down. You first hit them with hefty fines they cannot afford and then shut them down.
