    Lockheed bribery scandals

    Investigations revealed that Lockheed officials had made improper payments and contributions to foreign officials and intermediaries in connection with aircraft sales. The disclosures caused political crises in West Germany, Italy, Japan, and the Netherlands, intensified scrutiny of defense contracting, contributed to Daniel Haughton’s departure, and helped build momentum for the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
