THAI wants more time on bribe probe
THAI has asked to extend its investigation into the Rolls-Royce bribery scandal involving former executives to the end of this month, Transport minister Arkhom Termpittiyapaisith said. The carrier said it needs until that long to wrap up the probe, which is a few weeks longer than expected, according to Arkom. He said THAI has not provided him with any progress reports. The final report might focus on details about engine procurement for the airline's planes during the periods when the bribery took place, he said. In statements given to Britain's Serious Fraud Office, Rolls-Royce admitted to paying about THB254m to individuals to help it secure a deal with the Thai to purchase Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engines for 6 Boeing 777 aircraft and Trent 500 engines for 7 Airbus A340 aircraft. <br/>
