I'd prefer them to back up the corporate fine with some actual prosecutions of the people responsible. It's the only way we'll stamp this out of the industry.
 
The worst is that the improper gains made by some has de-facto been "legalized" with no attempt to recover it, that way putting also the burden of debts on honest shareholders.

The division at the time of the internal scrutiny was headed by Guillaume Faury, who took over last year as Airbus's group chief executive. Suspect helicopter deals were flagged for various reasons, according to the documents.

Some middlemen payments appeared to executives as excessive compared with the underlying helicopter orders involved, according to the documents. Others were flagged, according to the documents, for what executives suspected was improper due diligence or lack of supporting paperwork.
