- Uh oh:
The German-based car company Daimler and three of its subsidiaries have been accused of paying bribes to a large number of foreign governments.
The allegations were made in court papers filed in the United States.
Daimler, which makes Mercedes-Benz cars and trucks, is said to have made payments from 1998 to 2008.
The US Justice Department has accused the company of paying tens of millions of dollars in bribes to officials of at least 22 governments.
