Arrest Made in UK Aircraft Parts Fraud Investigation
Originally Published 2 years ago — by BBC.com
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has launched a criminal investigation into suspected fraud at UK-based aircraft parts supplier AOG Technics. The SFO made one arrest during a raid and is working with regulators to establish the facts. Several major airlines, including Ryanair, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta, are investigating engine parts that may have come from AOG Technics. The UK aviation watchdog, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), issued a safety notice in August, prompting some companies to temporarily take planes out of service. The investigation deals with serious allegations of fraud and could have far-reaching consequences.
