Britain is becoming a hotspot for corruption and bribery and the number of British companies affected by economic fraud in the past two years is almost twice the global average, according to a report released today by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
PwC's global economic crime survey, in which 302 UK companies were questioned, reveals corruption and bribery are the fastest-growing forms of economic crime in Britain.
British businesses are also naive about assessing risk, with only 17% believing they were "quite likely" or "very likely" to be subject to economic crime in the next two years. This is despite the fact that 48% of UK corporations suffered from some form of economic crime at some point in the past two years compared with 43% globally and 38% in western Europe.

By your simplistic arguments RD this should prove that McLaren are the one's lying...

Anyway, I just put in perspective Ron's claims of corruption in Italy - almost EVERY country has its form of corruption, so please refrain from broad slander of entire nations.

I read recently that The Mafia accounts for 7% of Italy's GPD, This is more than Italys largest companies make! 85billion euros is derived from organised crime. 80% of businesses in Scicily pay protection money.
These links seems to confirm this http://www.examiner.ie/breaking/world/mhmhmhcwidgb/

I say again Iam not trying to slander Italy, I think it is a beautiful counrty but it has its problems and unfortunately we have to suffer them spiling over into motor racing.

If you can't beat the team attack the nationality, you have no idea how close minded you guys sound.
