Northrop used Brazilian agents to win fighter contract
Northrop admitted overseas bribes and used Brazil connections to secure a Brazil fighter sale worth 72.3 million dollars for 42 aircraft. Five close friends of a Brazilian air force general were local agents, sharing or set to share about 2.3 million in commissions. The Senate panel released documents on the October 1973 sale. EPA suspended preconstruction reviews of parking lots citing a shift to state and local air quality controls.
