10 Feb 2026 Strukton Civiel Projecten B.V. und Strukton International B.V. (Strukton-Gruppe)Construction group Strukton pays 10 million EUR out-of-court settlement over bribery on the Riyadh Metro NetherlandsBribery of public officials €10m

To secure a share in the Riyadh Metro project, around 31 million USD was paid between 2013 and 2021 to an agent representing a high-ranking member of the Saudi royal family; the agent payments were understated to the export credit insurer Atradius. Strukton accepted a transaction (out-of-court settlement) of 10 million EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Commissions to agents with ties to ruling families carry the highest risk – and false statements to export credit insurers constitute a second offence.

28 Feb 2024 Bloem Infra B.V.; Den Ouden Infra B.V. (Kronzeuge, 0 €)Netherlands: 59,000 EUR against construction company over sham bid in school playground tender NetherlandsCartels and collusion €59,000

In the tender for the design of a school playground in Roermond, Bloem Infra passed its bid on in advance to Den Ouden, which then deliberately bid higher (cover pricing). The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) imposed a fine of 59,000 EUR on Bloem Infra; Den Ouden escaped a fine as the first to come forward.

What organisations can take from it

Even a single "helper bid" between construction companies on a small municipal contract is sanctioned – the first to come forward goes unpunished.
