Two men have been arrested over allegations that Europe's largest defence contractor offered bribes to secure arms deals.
Britain's Serious Fraud Office said the suspects had been questioned as part of an inquiry into BAE Systems' dealings with countries including the Czech Republic and Hungary. BAE denies the allegations of bribery.
Britain's Financial Times reports that one of the arrested men is Alfons Mensdorff-Pouilly, a Viennese count who has worked as an adviser to BAE.
