BAE paid for Saudi prince's daughter's honeymoon says report
LONDON -- British defense firm BAE Systems secretly paid £250,000 (about $500,000) for the daughter of a Saudi prince at the center of bribery allegations to go on a luxury honeymoon, The Sunday Times newspaper today reported.
The weekly said a senior BAE executive authorized the payment to Prince Bandar Bin Sultan's daughter and her husband to enjoy a six-week break in Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, Australia, and Hawaii.
It quoted Peter Gardiner, the managing director of the travel firm that arranged the trip, as saying: "BAE instructed me to give Bandar's daughter and her husband the honeymoon of a lifetime at BAE's expense.
"Who says that big business doesn't have a heart?"
It was not clear whether Gardiner spoke directly to the newspaper, but he has previously spoken out in the long-running claims surrounding BAE Systems attempts to secure defense contracts with the oil-rich Gulf kingdom.
