1 May 2026 Ultra Electronics Holdings Limited (vormals plc)Ultra Electronics: DPA of around 10.1 million GBP over bribery in Algeria and Oman €11.6m
The British defence supplier failed to prevent bribery by agents in connection with three public contracts in Oman and Algeria (including a contract with the Omani Ministry of Transport worth up to 200 million GBP). The DPA approved by Southwark Crown Court provides for a penalty of 10,083,150 GBP; in addition, the company is bearing around 4.8 million GBP of the SFO's investigation costs and must report on its compliance programme for three years.
Companies that use agents for government contracts must be able to demonstrate adequate procedures – otherwise the company is liable under Section 7 Bribery Act even without any intent to bribe on its own part.

The four-year remediation agreement, approved by the Superior Court of Quebec in early 2023 and published on 16 May 2023, provides for a penalty of 6,593,178 CAD, a surcharge of 659,318 CAD and forfeiture of 3,296,589 CAD, as well as an independent monitor.
