Hawks enter the fray in MTN/Turkcell dispute - Mail & Guardian Online: The police probe follows a $4.2-billion US civil claim filed in March by Turkish operator Turkcell accusing MTN of bribing Iranian and South African officials with cash and promises of defence equipment in order to secure the licence originally awarded to Turkcell.
“There are allegations of corruption. That’s exactly what we’re investigating,” Hawks spokesperson MacIntosh Polela said on Tuesday.
MTN officials were also accused of promising that Pretoria would vote favourably towards Tehran’s nuclear programme.
