A | 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.

IT之家从文中获悉,抖音整理了近期出现的十种仿冒抖音诈骗的“快递资料”,虽然卡片的包装主题不断翻新,但实际上只是把同一套“邮寄引流、扫码转化”的诈骗链路反复包装。有的打着“抖音十周年礼品卡”名义、有的借“端午献礼”“七夕献礼”等节日场景制造官方回馈的假象,还有的围绕季节主题推出“抖音盛夏来信”“抖音清凉一夏”等虚假活动,甚至还有假冒“抖音 618 电商狂欢节”“抖音好物体验季”等营销节点的内容,统一突出“50 元现金卡”“专属礼遇”“扫码即领”等字样,试图通过盗用平台标识和视觉设计降低用户警惕。
一旦用户扫码添加所谓的“客服”,对方就会以核实身份、登记礼品、确认收货、激活卡密等为由,要求用户提供手机号、快递号等个人信息,诱导受害人下载诈骗 App 或点击诈骗网站,进行后续诈骗。抖音反诈中心工作人员提醒,抖音不会通过快递邮寄所谓“现金卡”“专属礼品卡”诱导用户扫码领奖,也不会要求用户通过站外链接、陌生二维码或非官方客服渠道完成福利兑换。如遇可疑情况,用户可打开抖音 App 搜索“验证助手”,输入可疑来电号码、短信或网址,上传图片或二维码照片,核验是否为抖音官方信息,同时牢记,不轻信、不下载、不共享屏幕,避免落入仿冒平台的诈骗陷阱。
