Australian police raided on Tuesday two offices and a home as part of a corruption investigation involving a former supplier for the fourth-biggest lender, National Australia Bank Ltd (NAB.AX), authorities and the bank said, Reuters reports.
“Investigators seized large amounts of documents and electronic storage devices, which will be examined by the squad’s forensic accountants,” New South Wales state police said in a statement.
Police said the raids in Sydney were in connection with a suspected scheme in which a person would allegedly receive illicit commission to authorize payments by a financial institution to a contractor, with the payments higher than the agreed value of the contract.
