爱立信遭美司法部与SEC调查：中国业务或存商业贿赂行为 - 爱立信 - IT资讯

6月17日消息，据外电报道，《瑞典日報》（(Svenska Dagbladet)）周四援引匿名消息称，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）和司法部目前正在对瑞典电信设备巨头爱立信展开调查，此次调查与爱立信中国业务涉嫌存有商业贿赂问题相关。

美国证券交易委员会和司法部之所以对爱立信展开调查，原因是这家公司的股票同时在斯德哥尔摩证券交易所和纳斯达克证券交易所挂牌交易。爱立信发言人在电子邮件声明中对此报道未予置评，但表示该公司在2013年3月曾与美国当局进行过合作，回答了与公司业务相关的问题。

“作为一家上市公司，我们一直按要求公开披露对公司或财务状况能够产生重大影响的事件信息，”该发言人称。他还表示，爱立信在2013年已向媒体证实，确实收到来自美国当局的信息请求。根据媒体当时的报道，美国当局随后对爱立信在罗马尼亚的商业行为展开调查。截止目前，美国司法部及联邦证券交易委员会均对此报道未予置评。

根据美国《反海外腐败法》，美国当局查找出爱立信进行商业贿赂的证据，可能将会面临巨额罚款。今年2月，移动运营商Vimpelcom同意支付7.95亿美元罚款，了结美国和荷兰当局对其在乌兹别克斯坦进行商业贿赂的调查。这笔罚金的一半最终归属了美国。

《瑞典日報》在报道中称，爱立信一位前亚洲高管曾对与一家爱立信的供应商开展业务很感兴趣，这违背了公司的规定。目前尚不清楚这是否也是此次调查的部分内容。该报道还称，美国证券交易委员会对爱立信前商业部门Microwave Systems在一些交易很感兴趣。爱立信在2006年已剥离了Microwave Systems。
