	Siemens scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Siemens had secured a virtual monopoly over Japanese naval contracts in return for a secret 15% kickback to the Japanese naval authorities responsible for procurement.
		An expatriate employee of the Siemens Tokyo office (Karl Richter) stole incriminating documents indicating that Siemens had previously paid a bribe of 1,000 pounds sterling to the Japanese navy in return for a wireless contract, sold the documents to the Reuters news agency together with a copy of the telegram, and fled back to Germany.
		Japanese newspapers immediately reported the details of the corruption scandal, and the issue was raised in the Diet by members of the Rikken Doshikai political party.

		Siemens stressed on Tuesday that orders at other units, such as its heavy engineering power generation business, were experiencing a "boom".

	JPRI Working Paper No. 34
		The Shipbuilding Scandal erupted in the economic bust period that followed the Korean War, when Japan's struggling ship-transportation and shipbuilding companies bribed key government officials--politicians and bureaucrats--to draft and pass legislation that would benefit their industries.
		The Shipbuilding Scandal was huge, surpassing all previous scandals in the volume of bribes, indictments, and convictions.
		If the Shipbuilding scandal had mixed consequences for Japan's political elites, the damage it did to the procuracy is, in the words of Nomura Jiro, "impossible to measure." In the immediate aftermath of Yoshida's intervention, prosecutors were criticized almost as harshly as the meddlesome politicians.

		A standard Siemens practice is to buy out firms producing alternative energy equipment, stealing their ideas, and then driving them bankrupt.
		Various working groups discussed the history of the movement, goals and methods of resistance, strategy, uranium refining, new reactor developments, Siemens and the Siemens boycott, and especially international support and cooperation of all groups.

		In the annals of industrial Japan, the granddaddy of them all was the infamous Siemens scandal of 1914.
		Still, the scandal comes at a particularly awkward time: Mitsui, like other sogo shosha (general trading companies), is trying to reinvent itself because many industrial structures and practices of the Japanese economy that it helped to build from the rubble of World War II have become obsolete.
		The scandal's impact on earnings "is likely to be minimal, if at all, but investor sentiment may be negative for the next several months," he wrote in a note to clients.
