| 2008 | Bridgestone discovered unjustified payments to foreign people while investigating its rubber hose division for cartel. "Undue payments to foreign agents were discovered in an internal survey carried out by external legal advisers", explained Bridgestone in an official statement. These facts "constitute a serious violation of our rules" and "it is possible that these acts contravene the Japanese law and other jurisdictions", underlined Bridgestone. : translate | Romandie  |
