一 | 当地时间24日,美军南方司令部在社交媒体上发表声明说,美军23日在东太平洋打击一艘“贩毒船”,造成船上两人死亡。 Canberra, Oct 11 (UNI) Two Australian men have been charged with bribing Sri Lankan officials to secure infrastructure contracts worth millions of dollars.
Australian police arrested the pair last month after a decade-long investigation spanning several countries, BBC reported.
The men, aged 67 and 71, worked for a company which has been accused of misconduct in South Asian countries, it said.
They are yet to respond to the charges and will face court.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) say the men arranged bribes of more than A$304,000 ($190,000) to government officials between 2009 and 2016.
The bribes were allegedly made in the pursuit of two Sri Lankan projects -- which police did not name -- worth A$14m.
The charges follow an investigation into SMEC International Pty Ltd, an Australian-based engineering firm, which involved authorities from the US, Canada, India and elsewhere, the BBC reported.
More arrests and charges are possible, the AFP said.
"Corruption undermines fair competition and can have disastrous consequences for developing economies, global anti-poverty and development efforts," Detective Supt Helen Schneider said.
Originally known as the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corp, SMEC was formed in 1949 to build an iconic Australian infrastructure project. It has since grown to employ 5,400 staff in many countries.
In 2017, the World Bank temporarily barred SMEC and four subsidiaries in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from bidding for any of its contracts, the report said.
The World Bank said it had discovered evidence linking the company to suspected "inappropriate payments" in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
At the time, a spokesperson for SMEC said the allegations did not relate to any Australian projects, and that the company would continue to strengthen its corporate integrity compliance programmes.
Protests erupted in Sri Lanka this year over corruption allegations and the country's worst economic crisis in history, it said.
UNI MR。 图片来源:美军南方司令部在社交媒体上发布的视频截图 声明说,根据美军南方司令部司令弗朗西斯·多诺万的命令,美军“西半球联合特遣部队”对一艘“在东太平洋既定贩毒路线上航行”的船只实施打击,“情报显示该船正积极参与贩毒活动”。船上两名“毒品恐怖分子”被打死。

二 | 美军南方司令部发布的帖文中附带的视频显示,一艘船只正在水面航行,紧接着便发生剧烈爆炸。 这是美军南方司令部时隔两月后再次宣布对所谓“贩毒船”发动打击。自2025年9月初以来,美军在加勒比海和东太平洋对美方指称的所谓“贩毒船”进行多次打击,并于当年11月13日宣布发起“南方之矛”军事行动。然而,美国政府一直未公布任何可以证明其攻击目标涉毒的证据。 来源:中国新闻网返回,查看更多。
