Canada takes corruption very seriously. It just issued arrest warrants for couple of Italian Americans and a British national for attempting to bribe Air India officials.

The RCMP have charged two Americans and one British businessman with attempting to bribe public officials in India as part of a landmark prosecution that has already sent an Ottawa-area businessman to prison for three years.
Investigators with the RCMPs National Division announced Wednesday bribery charges against Robert Barra and Dario Berini, the former CEO and COO of Cryptometrics Inc., the U.S. parent company of Cryptometrics Canada, which is based in Ottawa. U.K. national Shailesh Govindia, who worked with Cryptometrics, faces two charges, including bribery and fraud.
Last month, Nazir Karigar of Ottawa, was sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a conspiracy to pay kickbacks to public officials at Air India, including a government minister, in a failed bid to win a $100-million contract for security and facial recognition technology for the affiliated Canadian and U.S. tech companies.
