西门子扩大腐败丑闻调查

　　Siemens has identified incidents of apparent bribery at three other divisions as part of its investigations into an expanding corruption scandal， which has focused until now on its telecoms unit， according to people familiar with the investigations.

　　The German industrial conglomerate said in mid-December that its investigations had found $555m in suspicious payments.

　　But it is said to have identified suspicious payments amounting to about 20 per cent of that figure in the transportation systems， power generation and SBS IT divisions.

　　据知情人士透露，西门子在对一桩不断扩大的腐败丑闻进行调查时，确定另外3个部门也与行贿事件有所牵连。在此之前，丑闻调查的焦点一直是西门子的电信部门。

　　这家德国企业在去年12月中旬表示，该公司在调查中发现了约5.55亿美元的可疑付款。

　　但据说，西门子已确定其中约20%的可疑付款发生在运输系统、发电和行业应用服务集团IT等部门。
