Bahrain PM's role in disputed aluminium deals probed at UK trial | Reuters:
"A British court saw documents on Monday purporting to show that Bahrain's prime minister had direct influence over the affairs of aluminium smelter Alba when it was making deals now at the heart of a major corruption case.
The documents were shown by a lawyer for British-Canadian businessman Victor Dahdaleh, who is on trial accused of paying some $67 million (40.9 million pounds) in bribes to former Alba managers in return for a cut of contracts with suppliers worth more than $3 billion.
One of Britain's biggest corruption cases for years, the trial has opened a rare window onto business practices normally shielded from public view in secretive Bahrain and comes at a sensitive time of political unrest in the tiny Gulf kingdom."
