During the final years of World War II, numerous plants and factories in Berlin and other major
cities were destroyed by Allied air raids. To prevent further losses, manufacturing was therefore
moved to alternative places and regions not affected by the air war. The goal was to secure
continued production of important war-related and everyday goods. According to records, Siemens
was operating almost 400 alternative or relocated manufacturing plants at the end of 1944 and in
early 1945.

In 1972, Siemens sued German satirist F.C. Delius for his satirical
history of the company, Unsere Siemens-Welt, and it was determined
much of the book contained false claims although the trial itself
publicized Siemens's history in Nazi Germany.[24] The company
supplied electrical parts to Nazi concentration camps and death
camps. The factories had poor working conditions, where malnutrition
and death were common. Also, the scholarship has shown that the
camp factories were created, run, and supplied by the SS, in
conjunction with company officials, sometimes high-level
officials.[25][26][27][28]
In 1987, Siemens reintegrated Kraftwerk Union, the unit Historical Siemens logos

Investigations found that Siemens had a pattern of bribing officials to secure contracts, with the
company spending approximately $1.3 billion on bribes across several countries, and maintaining
separate accounting records to conceal this. Following the investigations, Siemens settled in
December 2008, paying a combined total of approximately $1.6 billion to the US and Germany in
what was, at the time, the largest bribery fine in history.[93] In addition, the company was required
to invest $1 billion in developing and maintaining new internal compliance procedures. Siemens
admitted to violating the accounting provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, while its
Bangladesh and Venezuela subsidiaries pleaded guilty to paying bribes.[94]
Despite initial expectations of a fine as high as $5 billion, the final amount was significantly less, in
part due to Siemens's cooperation with the investigators, the upcoming change in the US
administration, and Siemens's role as a US military contractor.[95] The payments included $450
million in fines and penalties and a forfeiture of $350 million in profits in the US. Siemens also
revamped its compliance systems, appointing Peter Y. Solmssen, a US lawyer, as an independent
director in charge of compliance and accepting oversight from Theo Waigel, a former German
finance minister. Siemens implemented new anti-corruption policies, including a comprehensive
anti-corruption handbook, online tools for due diligence and compliance, a confidential
communications channel for employees, and a corporate disciplinary committee. This process
involved hiring approximately 500 full-time compliance personnel worldwide.[96]
Siemens's bribery culture was not new; it was highlighted as far back as 1914 when both Siemens
and Vickers were involved in a scandal over bribes paid to Japanese naval authorities.[97] The
company resorted to bribery as it sought to expand its business in the developing world after
World War II. Up until 1999, bribes were a tax-deductible business expense in Germany, with no
penalties for bribing foreign officials. However, with the implementation of the 1999 OECD Anti-
Bribery Convention, Siemens started using off-shore accounts to hide its bribery.
During the investigation, key player Reinhard Siekaczek, a mid-level executive in the
telecommunications unit, provided critical evidence. He disclosed that he had managed an annual
global bribery budget of $40 to $50 million and provided information about the company's 2,700
worldwide contractors, who were typically used to channel money to government officials. Notable
instances of bribery included substantial payments in Argentina, Israel, Venezuela, China, Nigeria,
and Russia to secure large contracts.[93]
The investigation resulted in multiple prosecutions and settlements with various governments, as
well as legal action against Siemens employees and those who received bribes. Noteworthy cases
include the conviction of two former executives in 2007 for bribing Italian energy company Enel, a
settlement with the Greek government in 2012 for 330 million euros over the Greek bribery
scandal, and a guilty plea in 2014 from former Siemens executive Andres Truppel for channeling
nearly $100 million in bribes to Argentine government officials.[98] Siemens also faced
repercussions from the World Bank due to fraudulent practices by its Russian affiliate. In 2009,
Siemens agreed not to bid on World Bank projects for two years and to establish a $100 million
fund at the World Bank to support anti-corruption activities over 15 years, known as the "Siemens
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens 7/32
4/28/24, 8:46 PM Siemens - Wikipedia
Integrity Initiative." Other substantial fines include a payment of ₦7 billion (US$46.57 million) to
the Nigerian government in 2010, and a US$42.7 million penalty in Israel in 2014 to avoid charges
of securities fraud.

and VA Tech.[103] According to the commission, "between 1988 and 2004, the companies rigged
bids for procurement contracts, fixed prices, allocated projects to each other, shared markets and
exchanged commercially important and confidential information."[103] Siemens was given the
highest fine of €396 million, more than half of the total, for its alleged leadership role in the
activity.
Also in 2007, Siemens acquired Vai Ingdesi Automation (Argentina, Industrial Automation), UGS

around €5.5 billion, under which Atos will provide managed services and systems integration to
Siemens.[120] At the same time, Germany’s Wegmann Group acquired Siemens's 49-percent stake

years. The new plant is expected to begin producing turbine rotor blades in 2016. The plant and the
associated service center, in Green Port Hull nearby, will employ about 1,000 workers. The
facilities will serve the UK market, where the electricity that major power producers generate from
wind grew by about 38 percent in 2013, representing about 6 percent of total electricity, according
to government figures. There are also plans to increase Britain's wind-generating capacity at least
threefold by 2020, to 14 gigawatts.[126]

turbines, and aircraft engines). A rival bid by General Electric (GE) has been criticized by French
government sources, who consider Alstom's operations as a "vital national interest" at a moment
when the French unemployment level stands above 10% and some voters are turning towards the
far-right.[128]
