Buenos Aires - Argentine Justice officials on Thursday raided Siemens offices in Buenos Aires, the latest in a series of actions against the firm in a widespread international bribery case.
The action - ordered by Judge Ariel Lijo - sought to seize a memorandum in which Siemens allegedly admitted the payment of bribes in Argentina, as the German-based company did in other countries, Argentine news agency DyN reported.
On Thursday, Engineering firm Siemens Ltd received Rs 212 crore order from Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL) in order to offer a power distribution package at the Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) in Orissa.
In a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange, the company confirmed, "The scope of work for Siemens' industrial solution division, which has bagged the Rs 212-crore order, includes designing, engineering, supply, civil work, erection, testing and commissioning of transmission lines and substations."
