Four Rio Tinto employees' arrest were approved over trade secrets infringement bribery.Prosecutors have approved the arrest of four employees of the Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto Ltd. on charges of trade secrets infringement and bribery, according to a statement of China's Supreme People's Procuratorate late Tuesday.
The four -- Stern Hu, Liu Caikui, Ge Minqiang and Wang Yong -- had previously been arrested in China and it was not immediately clear from the Xinhua report whether they had now been formally charged.
Preliminary investigations have showed that the four employees, Stern Hu, Liu Caikui, Ge Minqiang and Wang Yong, had obtained commercial secrets of China's steel and iron industry through improper means, which had violated the country's Criminal Law, according to the statement.Prosecution authorities also found evidence to prove that they were involved in commercial bribery.
