UK wrong to halt Saudi arms probe

The High Court has ruled that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) acted unlawfully by dropping a corruption inquiry into a £43bn Saudi arms deal. In a hard-hitting ruling, two High Court judges described the SFO's decision as an "outrage". Defence firm BAE was accused of making illegal payments to Saudi officials to secure contracts, but the firm maintains that it acted lawfully.
The SFO said national security would have been undermined by the inquiry. UK wrong to halt Saudi arms probe [This should be read in the context of an independent judiciary, NAB and Mr. 10% like allegations.]
