UK wrong to halt Saudi arms probe
A followup on a story I've linked to before:
The High Court has ruled that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) acted unlawfully by dropping a corruption inquiry into a £43bn Saudi arms deal.
In a hard-hitting ruling, two High Court judges described the SFO's decision as an "outrage".
Defence firm BAE was accused of making illegal payments to Saudi officials to secure contracts, but the firm maintains that it acted lawfully.
