0:00:03 > 0:00:05Tonight on Panorama...
0:00:05 > 0:00:10we expose corruption at one of Britain's biggest companies.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12This is not only a criminal activity,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14it is really, totally unacceptable.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The bribery secrets of British American Tobacco
0:00:20 > 0:00:23revealed by the man who did their dirty work.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28- Bribing?- Yes. - Breaking the law?- Yes.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- And you were happy to do that? - Yes.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36We reveal how BAT's bribes undermined a United Nations
0:00:36 > 0:00:38campaign to save lives.
0:00:38 > 0:00:44It's using bribery to profit at the cost of people's lives,
0:00:44 > 0:00:46simple as that.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49We track down the politicians
0:00:49 > 0:00:53and civil servants who took the illegal payments.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- You took money from BAT, didn't you? You took 3,000.- I...
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- I don't think so.- Listen, man, you're now upsetting me.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Mr Durante?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05'And we confront those at the top about corruption at BAT.'
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Why did you not respond to our e-mails about bribery?
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Is that the nature of BAT, sir, that you just put up with bribery?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Places, all! # All join hands, circle left
0:01:27 > 0:01:29# Brand right to left, around you go
0:01:29 > 0:01:31# Lucky Strike means fine tobacco... #
0:01:31 > 0:01:38British American Tobacco sold 667 billion cigarettes last year...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41# ..around the hall Lucky Strike is first again
0:01:41 > 0:01:43# First again for tobacco men... #
0:01:43 > 0:01:47..famous brands like Lucky Strike, Benson & Hedges and Rothmans.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49# Yes, for smoking that you're bound to like
0:01:49 > 0:01:52# You just can't beat a Lucky Strike! #
0:01:59 > 0:02:03BAT is Britain's fifth-biggest company,
0:02:03 > 0:02:09and it made £4.5 billion profit last year.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11The company is doing well,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15says chief executive Nicandro Durante in this glossy corporate video.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18We are on course to deliver very,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22very good results for shareholders on a constant basis.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29BAT is part of a controversial industry, but it does all it can
0:02:29 > 0:02:33to portray itself as an ethical, respectable and law-abiding company.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Another promotional video describes BAT's business ethics.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44We are committed at BAT to operating to the very,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46very highest standards of corporate conduct.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Behaving in a responsible way,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50running our business in a responsible manner
0:02:50 > 0:02:52all over the world.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01But our investigation reveals BAT doesn't always meet these standards.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06Tonight, we'll show how its bribery damaged rival businesses,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08corrupted national parliaments
0:03:08 > 0:03:13and undermined a United Nations campaign to save lives.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31This is tobacco country in northern Uganda.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Thousands of farmers make their living from tobacco here.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41But some have found a different way to make money from this crop.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49We're on our way to meet a very important man.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53This is a guy who helps to decide who gets to buy and sell tobacco.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56And what we know about the man we're on our way to meet
0:03:56 > 0:03:58is he's corrupt.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Dr Kasirivu Atwooki is the big man in these hills.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11He's the local MP and sits on an important parliamentary committee.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18He doesn't know it yet, but we have evidence he's taken bribes from BAT.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23If an MP, a sitting MP, took a bribe, how would you feel about that?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- That's not acceptable. - You took a bribe, though, didn't you?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Why should I? - You took 20,000 from BAT.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- From where?- In 2012.- No, no, no. That's not true.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Are you corrupt?- I'm not.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39But our evidence suggests he is.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Dr Atwooki's parliamentary committee was writing a report on a rival
0:04:44 > 0:04:48tobacco company, and BAT wanted to see it.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58A confidential document, written later by a BAT security contractor
0:04:58 > 0:05:03and seen by Panorama, says BAT agreed to pay the MP.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09"To see the report would cost 5,000.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12"The payment was done by a third party,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15"and we received a copy of the draft report."
0:05:16 > 0:05:18But that was just the start.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25Atwooki said BAT could amend the report in return for more cash.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30"For this to happen, it would cost 20,000."
0:05:33 > 0:05:36The contractor said BAT paid the bribe,
0:05:36 > 0:05:41the MP changed his report and BAT got what it wanted.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47They make it very clear that you approached BAT and said,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51"I can show you the first draft of this report for 5,000."
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Did you do that, yes or no? - No!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Then they say that if you wanted to amend that report,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58that would come to 20,000.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Did that happen, yes or no?- But... - Did that happen, yes or no?
0:06:01 > 0:06:07It didn't. The committee report is not written by one person.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09It is a committee report,
0:06:09 > 0:06:14and we read through the report and we agree on it and people sign.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17And that's what happens. Very transparent.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28SHOT
0:06:30 > 0:06:34We know about the bribes because of this man.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36SHOT
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Paul Hopkins served in the Irish special forces.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46He then worked for BAT in Africa for 13 years.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47SHOT
0:06:49 > 0:06:53He ran security and anti-smuggling operations
0:06:53 > 0:06:55but also arranged BAT's bribe payments.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02He fell out with the company and was made redundant.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Now he's turned whistle-blower.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10I was a commercial hit man.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13My job was to ensure that the competition
0:07:13 > 0:07:16never got a breathing space.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18BAT then knew what they wanted you to do
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- and they expected you to get on with it.- Yes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- And that included bribing?- Yes. - Breaking the law?- Yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Applying pressure?- Yes. - Undermining commercial rivals?- Yes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- And you were happy to do that? - Yes.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Were you surprised by the sort of things that BAT expected you to do?
0:07:35 > 0:07:41No. They're quite shocking in this environment, but, as it was
0:07:41 > 0:07:45explained to me, in Africa that's the cost of doing business.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52The documents Paul Hopkins gave us
0:07:52 > 0:07:58show how far BAT was prepared to go to get its own way,
0:07:58 > 0:08:03even if it meant undermining a United Nations effort to save lives.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Based in Geneva, the UN's World Health Organization is trying
0:08:14 > 0:08:17to reduce the number of deaths caused by tobacco.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22180 countries have signed up
0:08:22 > 0:08:27to its Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, or FCTC.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32The FCTC wants to reduce the demand for tobacco around the world.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37They say they're tackling the spread of a habit that kills
0:08:37 > 0:08:38six million people a year.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41But BAT had a man on the inside.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48This is Godefroid Kamwenubusa.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52He's one of Burundi's representatives at the FCTC.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57And this is an e-mail from BAT
0:08:57 > 0:09:01authorising a bribe that was paid to him.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07"Call Godefroid. He supported us at INB, so we owe him 3,000."
0:09:09 > 0:09:13The INB is part of the Tobacco Control Convention.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20And Kamwenubusa was being bribed to support BAT.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26'I showed the e-mail to the head of the convention.'
0:09:27 > 0:09:34That's BAT paying a representative 3,000. What do you feel about that?
0:09:34 > 0:09:39It's a company that is irresponsible...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41to say the least.
0:09:41 > 0:09:48It's using bribery to profit at the cost of people's lives,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50simple as that.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54But it gets worse.
0:09:59 > 0:10:05BAT also bribed this man, a former Rwandan FCTC representative,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Bonaventure Nzeyimana.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13This bank transfer shows the 20,000 bribe being paid.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20Dr Nzeyimana admitted getting the money but said
0:10:20 > 0:10:23it had nothing to do with tobacco or BAT.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34And an FCTC representative from the Comoros Islands,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Chaibou Bedja Abdou, was paid 3,000,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42though he told us he'd never received any money from BAT.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49So three people involved with the UN's anti-tobacco campaign
0:10:49 > 0:10:51all being bribed by BAT.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56What would you like to see happen to BAT as a result of what we've
0:10:56 > 0:10:58shown you?
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Oh, I think BAT should be investigated by the Government
0:11:03 > 0:11:07and should be just punished accordingly.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13BAT told us:
0:11:31 > 0:11:36But Panorama has obtained papers in which BAT describes
0:11:36 > 0:11:38the payments to the three officials linked to the
0:11:38 > 0:11:42tobacco convention as "unlawful bribes".
0:11:42 > 0:11:46So in these previously unpublished documents,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50the company admits they WERE illegal payments.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02This is Mastermind Tobacco in Kenya's capital, Nairobi.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It's one of BAT's main rivals in East Africa...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13..and BAT paid bribes to discover its secrets.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16There are all the, er...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20..confidential documents we...
0:12:21 > 0:12:23..procured...
0:12:24 > 0:12:30- ..from Mastermind.- So this, all of this, is the fruits of bribery?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Yeah, information sources on the board of Mastermind.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- How much money's worth of black ops is here?- Oh...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40To cover you, a couple of hundred thousand pounds?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Minutes of the marketing meeting. This would be the most useful.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49I got to see it usually 12 or 14 hours after it happened.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50But if you hadn't paid any money,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53how many files would we have in front of us?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Oh, none.- None?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- So this is what you get when you pay the money.- Yeah.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Paul also arranged bribes to get public officials to hand over
0:13:06 > 0:13:09details of Mastermind's tax affairs.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Did you ever think, "How did I end up doing this?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16"I was a special-forces guy, a good guy, and now I'm just corrupt,
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- "I'm bribing people"?- BAT is bribing people, and I'm facilitating it.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30We designed this and built this here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:36'We showed the owner of Mastermind the evidence that BAT was waging
0:13:36 > 0:13:40'an illegal campaign against his company.'
0:13:43 > 0:13:45How do you feel about what I've shown you?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49It's terrible for an organisation that claims to be a civilised
0:13:49 > 0:13:53organisation to be involved in activities of this nature.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's wrong, it's unjust and it's evil.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03On their website, BAT make great play of the fact
0:14:03 > 0:14:06that they are an ethical company and they do things by the rules.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- What do you make of that?- That's PR.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- So BAT managers knew you were bribing people?- Yes.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And Paul has evidence.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19This was his boss, Gary Fagan,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23BAT's area director for East and Central Africa.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Paul secretly recorded a conversation with him.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36They discussed the bribes paid to tax officials
0:14:36 > 0:14:40at the Kenya Revenue Authority, or KRA.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Fagan seems to know about the bribes
0:14:55 > 0:14:58and he certainly doesn't tell Paul to stop.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It is illegal for British companies to pay bribes
0:15:16 > 0:15:17anywhere in the world.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24They can face unlimited fines if they don't take steps to prevent bribery.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32This is not only criminal activity, it is really totally unacceptable.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36What they are doing is they are undermining
0:15:36 > 0:15:39a system of governance that operates.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Gary Fagan denies that he authorised or sanctioned
0:15:45 > 0:15:49the payments of bribes.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53But Paul also secretly recorded a BAT lawyer.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Naushad Ramoly.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Shortly before Paul leaves the company, Ramoly agrees
0:16:11 > 0:16:17they should make final bribe payments to informants at the tax authority,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20who they call the KRA, and Mastermind's board.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Naushad Ramoly says he has never been involved
0:16:49 > 0:16:52in illegal activities or bribes,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55and he reported the whistle-blower Paul Hopkins
0:16:55 > 0:16:57to senior BAT management.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The whistle-blower isn't the only former employee
0:17:16 > 0:17:18who says BAT paid bribes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26I'm in Uganda for the court case of this former BAT lobbyist.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41Soloman Muyita says BAT managers told him to give cash to 50 people.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47BAT fired him. They say he's lying.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49He's suing them for wrongful dismissal.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18In court, BAT disputed Muyita's claims.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21But documents submitted to court
0:18:21 > 0:18:25suggest BAT did make illegal payments.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34They show BAT paid MPs here in Uganda's Parliament
0:18:34 > 0:18:38to undermine a proposed anti-tobacco law.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44The bill recommended a tightening of the laws surrounding tobacco,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48so strict controls on where people could smoke,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52new controls on the way cigarettes could be marketed.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Restrictions of the displays of cigarettes in shops.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00It is safe to say that this was not a Bill that BAT liked.
0:19:06 > 0:19:12One of the MPs who proposed the anti-tobacco bill was David Bahati.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15The intention and the purpose of the bill
0:19:15 > 0:19:19is to protect the wellbeing and health of Ugandans.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24But the court documents allege Bahati
0:19:24 > 0:19:28received thousands of dollars from BAT,
0:19:28 > 0:19:33and that he was recruited by BAT Uganda to infiltrate,
0:19:33 > 0:19:38influence and spy on the cohort of anti-tobacco activists.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Minutes of a meeting between BAT and the MP
0:19:44 > 0:19:47say he supported having most of our views
0:19:47 > 0:19:51accommodated in the proposed tobacco law.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55David Bahati didn't respond to any of our questions,
0:19:55 > 0:19:57but just to be clear,
0:19:57 > 0:20:02an MP who is the poster boy for the anti-tobacco lobby
0:20:02 > 0:20:05was being secretly bribed by BAT.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07What do you make of that?
0:20:07 > 0:20:12If they are being paid specifically in order to amend legislation,
0:20:12 > 0:20:15you've got a clear breach of duty.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19And if it's a clear breach of duty, the payment is a bribe.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27BAT told Panorama:
0:20:50 > 0:20:57The problem for BAT is the evidence of illegal behaviour keeps coming.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04Remember the bribes paid to undermine the UN Convention on Tobacco Control.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Well, they were arranged by this woman,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Julie Adell-Owino, a BAT lobbyist.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17We've got the e-mails Owino sent when she was arranging the payments.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21They are extraordinary, the whole corrupt practice is laid bare.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Take the corrupt payment to the Burundi official
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Godefroid Kamwenubusa.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40The cash wasn't just for his work undermining the UN.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45Julie Adell-Owino wanted something else for BAT's money.
0:21:45 > 0:21:49We owe him 3,000 but this is also an exchange
0:21:49 > 0:21:52for the draft TCB that the Minister has.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58TCB stands for Tobacco Control Bill.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05One e-mail says that Kamwenubusa could accommodate any amendments
0:22:05 > 0:22:07before the President signs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:16It's another attempt by BAT to undermine an anti-smoking law.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24So what does Dr Kamwenubusa say about his bribe?
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- Did you take 3,000 from BAT? - No, no.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32I think you did. So I'm going to go through the paperwork with you.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I think you're not telling me the truth.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37So if you look at this e-mail here, sir.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39This is an e-mail that talks about you.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43It's from somebody inside BAT, the lobbying group.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48If you read it, sir, it says, "We owe him 3,000,
0:22:48 > 0:22:53"but this is also an exchange for the draft Tobacco Control Bill."
0:22:53 > 0:22:56It talks about you, sir. It talks about the money that they paid you.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01You took money from BAT, didn't you?
0:23:01 > 0:23:033,000?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I can give you more paperwork, sir, it all refers to you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10This is another internal document from BAT which refers to you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12It says, "The guy can accommodate any amendments
0:23:12 > 0:23:14"before the president signs."
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Sir, this is your chance to be honest. This is your chance.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I know you took the bribes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Then there's the case of Moses Wetangula,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Kenya's former Minister of Trade.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50He wanted a flight to London for his wife.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Julie Adell-Owino was happy to pay for it.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00We've agreed to get a ticket for his wife.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Find out how much the business class ticket will cost
0:24:03 > 0:24:05and buy it, paying by cash.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07The transaction needed to be...
0:24:07 > 0:24:12Paperless, no receipts, if any, in his name.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23Julie Adell-Owino categorically denied involvement in bribery,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26and said BAT was mistaken when it admitted
0:24:26 > 0:24:28that the payments were bribes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So what does the former minister say?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41The reason we wanted to talk to you is it's been suggested
0:24:41 > 0:24:46that you have been corrupt and that you have taken things from BAT.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- Who, me?- This ticket, it was to be paid for in cash
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- and given to your bodyguard... - Yes.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54And there would be no paper trail.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Oh, my God.- Why would that happen?
0:24:57 > 0:25:04First of all, I'm embarrassed to hear that, I'm upset to hear that,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08and I will take action against anybody
0:25:08 > 0:25:10who is brewing such a crude rumour against me.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14It looks like corruption, doesn't it? It looks like corruption.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Listen, man, you are now upsetting me,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18because I did not receive any ticket or any money.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- I don't want to offend you. - You are offending me.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Sometimes I accidentally offend because I'm putting allegations, sir.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27They're based on evidence. These are not things that I've made up.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30BAT have admitted that this counts as illegal bribery.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31I am shocked to hear this
0:25:31 > 0:25:34and I reserve the right to take legal action.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37But it looks like it's true, so what would you say to our viewers?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It seems to be true.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Let me repeat this again.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I have never had the links to BAT.
0:25:50 > 0:25:56But the evidence suggests politicians and civil servants were paid bribes.
0:25:59 > 0:26:05They broke the law but it is BAT that faces the most serious questions.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10And not just from the UK authorities.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14The fines could be huge, especially in the US.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18The US will take it very seriously indeed.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Every single suggestion of bribery - bribe scandal, if you like -
0:26:22 > 0:26:27that affects a European company has automatically triggered
0:26:27 > 0:26:31an inquiry by the Department of Justice in the US.
0:26:34 > 0:26:40We first asked BAT about the bribery allegations three months ago.
0:26:42 > 0:26:48We've sent 16 e-mails to chief Executive Nicandro Durante,
0:26:48 > 0:26:52but he hasn't answered any of our questions
0:26:52 > 0:26:56about the bribe payments we uncovered.
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Mr Durante?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I caught up with him as his chauffeur dropped him off
0:27:00 > 0:27:03at BAT's London headquarters.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Sir, can I ask you a quick question? I'm from Panorama.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Why did you not respond to our e-mails about bribery?
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Is that the nature of BAT, sir, that you just put up with bribery?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Sir, could you come out and give us a quick answer to the questions?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21What should we make of your company? One question, sir.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23What should our viewers make of BAT?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27It's not terribly impressive, sir.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31We've been writing to you for months, sir,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33why don't you just give us a response?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35No response.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41BAT later told us:
0:28:00 > 0:28:03And what about the whistle-blower, Paul Hopkins?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Well, this week, he plans to meet with investigators
0:28:07 > 0:28:10from the Serious Fraud Office in the UK.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Britain's fifth biggest company will have to explain
0:28:19 > 0:28:23why its staff broke the law for such a long time
0:28:23 > 0:28:25in so many countries.
