Siemens set to leave Sudan
Siemens’ reputation has been hit by a €200 million bribery and embezzlement scandal as well as by its involvement in Sudan, where 200,000 people have been killed in the four-year-old conflict in Darfur.
Mr Kleinfeld told Der Spiegel that Siemens’s policy was never to pay bribes to secure contracts, and was asked if the company would ever cease operating in a country for political or moral reasons.
