MTN cleared of Iran licence wrongdoing
- Iran: Sunday, February 03 - 2013 at 02:20
Africa's largest mobile-phone operator, MTN Group (MTN) has said an internal investigation has found the company didn't break the law to obtain a wireless-service license in Iran, Bloomberg has reported. Turkcell Iletisim Hismet is suing MTN in the US for $4.2bn, alleging it bribed officials, arranged meetings between Iranian and South African leaders, and promised Iran weapons and UN votes in exchange for a licence to provide mobile-phone service in Iran. Turkey's largest mobile- phone company said it was initially awarded the licence, which was then given to MTN in 2005. Investigators appointed by MTN and led by former UK House of Lords Judge Leonard Hoffmann, found no evidence of bribes or promises to get the South African government to support Iran's nuclear policy at the International Atomic Energy Agency, MTN said.
