The chief of a fleet-management company has been charged with paying corrupt commissions to a Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) employee.
According to Fairfax Media, Orix CEO John Carter allegedly made corrupt payments of $504,000 to CCA's fleet manager in exchange for vehicle leasing contracts.
However police say the scandal could be far wider, possibly involving millions of dollars and years of corruption, according to the Fairfax Media report.
Carter was charged with four counts of paying corrupt commissions and one count of money laundering last Thursday.
The CCA fleet manager who allegedly accepted the payments was arrested in his office at the company's Macquarie Park headquarters on 25 March.
