Probe into allegations of bribes at Foxconn
HON Hai Precision, a leading maker of iPhones and other high-tech gadgets, says the Taiwan-based company is working with police on Chinese mainland investigating allegations that employees of its Foxconn unit solicited kickbacks from suppliers.
Hon Hai said in a statement late on Wednesday that it will "thoroughly investigate" and review its procurement procedures to close any possible loopholes.
Foxconn produces iPhones and iPads for Apple and also assembles products for global firms including Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard.
Taiwan's "Next" magazine reported earlier this week that a Foxconn manager had been detained by police in the southern city of Shenzhen over bribery allegations.
The island's China Times newspaper quoted unidentified sources as saying Hon Hai was investigating a dozen other employees suspected of having taken bribes and that it had suspended purchases from an equipment maker accused of offering bribes.
Hon Hai employs 1.2 million people in some 20 factories across China.
The company had previously come under scrutiny over labor policies that allegedly led a dozen workers to commit suicide.
The latest allegation has raised questions about the electronics giant's internal management problems amid its rapid expansion to keep up with a growing demand for its products.
