    The House of Lords has ruled that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) acted lawfully in dropping an inquiry into bribery allegations during an arms deal between Saudi Arabia and BAE Systems.

    This ruling overturns a High Court decision that Tony Blair’s government and the SFO had caved in too readily to threats by Saudi Arabia over sharing intelligence related to terrorism.

    Septic Isle offers some commentary on this ruling.
