BAE slips further into the slime

The Sunday Times alleged yesterday that BAE Systems, at the heart of bribery allegations related to a Saudi Arabian arms deal, provided Saudi Prince Turki bin Nasser with "entertainment" via a slush fund run through a travel agency. Anouska Bolton-Lee, a former lingerie model, and Karajan Mallinder, a self styled "actress", had their mortgages, council tax and other expenses paid through the travel firm apparently in exchange for their attendance at parties given by Prince at his posh London hotel.

The government has undoubtedly decided not to investigate citing "national security issues".
