Two more suspects arrested in construction company bribery case

Police today arrest two more people in an international bribery case involving tens of millions of dollars allegedly paid by a major Israeli construction company to African government officials over many years.

Police did not name the two, but they are expected to appear before a court later in the day to have their remand extended.

The case involves Shikun & Binui, one of Israel’s largest construction and infrastructure companies, which has many projects in Israel and around the world.

Five senior executives arrested last week are suspected of making the illicit payments to support construction projects in unnamed countries in Africa.
