Η χρόνια που άλλαξαν όλα ήταν το 2006 όταν η εισαγγελία του Μονάχου εισέβαλε στα γραφεία της εταιρίας.
Σύμφωνα με την γερμανικη εφημερίδα süddeutsche zeitung αναφέρει πως η εταιρία γνώριζε έναν χρόνο πριν ότι αρχές την ερευνούσαν.
Το υπουργείο δικαιοσύνης των ΗΠΑ εκτιμά πως το συνολικό ποσό για δωροδοκίες φτάνει τα 1,5 δις δολ. Και θεωρείτο το μεγαλύτερο σκάνδαλο στην υπόθεση διαφθοράς των παγκόσμιων αγορών.
