3. Siemens

The most amazing thing about the Siemens bribery scandal isn’t just the fact that it happened, but that it was the rule rather than the exception. It was standard operating procedure for the company to pay bribes to secure contracts. The company didn’t pay bribes in just Germany or a couple of other nations. It was involved in paying bribes worth over $1.3 billion in several nations, with the company ending up paying over $800 million in fines to the US and Germany. This was the largest bribery fine ever at the time in 2008.
