TI Ireland Newsletter.: In the past year alone, five foreign bribery allegations have been levelled at Irish companies and nationals, yet the study’s author, Diarmuid Griffin of NUIG, was unable to find out whether any investigations had taken place. In one case, not covered in the report but published in October 2005, an Irish national is alleged to have managed a multi-million dollar bribe to officials in Azerbaijan’s state-run oil agency. He is now under indictment in the US for his part in the fraud. He could not have been prosecuted in Ireland because of the statutory limits highlighted by TI.?
