With pressure mounting in the US for the launch of a full-blooded inquiry into News Corporation under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the daunting consequences of such a move are becoming evident. Mike Koehler, a law professor at Butler University who is an expert in the act, said a costly and expensive worldwide investigation into possible bribery activities on the part of the company's subsidiaries in America, Australia, Europe, India and China was now almost inevitable.

"Once the US authorities have started investigating the UK phone scandal, their next question is where else?" he said.

A full-scale FCPA investigation could also see News Corporation forced to hand over to US authorities its most sensitive legal documents, even those covered by lawyer-client privilege. US investigators have the right to call for a waiver to the privilege in order to obtain key documents including witness statements and all legal advice given to the company.

The US attorney general, Eric Holder, has confirmed that a preliminary investigation is under way into News Corporation's activities.

:rofl:

Prolly too late, tho.

The FOXes are sweating.

The death of Stephen Hoare is a vivid reminder of the power he was up against.

You can also listen to OZ radio - very cool

goodie

it's too big to ignore, and most of the principle players are acting too stupidly to shield!

I'm just going to sit and wait for the next arrest/bombshell/indictment/investigation, because I'm sure all four are going to happen ... probably tomorrow :rofl:

"suicides" too

... not saying it was either a murder or a suicide, but it sure as hell is "suspicious" in my book!

George Bush talked about it on the Today show.

He wrote about it in his book.

Color my cynical about this "investigation."

We report and deport, you decide.

People should just stop talking about it.

When forced to , Holder has investigated the "big boys" but then has either dropped the charges, pled them down,
settled for pennies on the dollar fine, or, in some cases, "lost" the case due to "errors".

Saving my pom poms for when I see REAL justice happening.

to US companies and folks for illegal hacking.

Report coming up after commercials

edit subject

so I am dependent on late night news re-runs online.

I have no faith holder really wants to get to the bottom of this.

:hi:

and take his network with him
