Sundance Resources said on Thursday Australian police are investigating allegations that the company may have bribed politicians in Congo Republic to win permits to pursue a major iron-ore project.
Sundance said the allegations dated back to meetings held between 2006 and 2008, as reported by Fairfax Media, and had been mainly raised in a case last year where Perth geologist David Porter successfully sued Sundance for failing to pay him for helping the company obtain its mining permits.
