US Embassy Official Protested Dropped British Investigation Into Saudi Money Scandal

US officials made a formal protest to the Foreign Office over Britain's decision to drop an inquiry into allegations that BAE Systems had bribed Saudi royals.

The Foreign Office confirmed today that the verbal protest was made by a US embassy official at a meeting at the department in January.

The protest came after the Serious Fraud Office's investigation into corruption allegations against the British firm was controversially halted by the British government in December last year.
