"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. : translateRomandie
