It appears that Saab was looking into partnerships on the program, and may, or may not, have paid off an official for technical data to help with a bid:
Saab acknowledged that its South Korean premises had been “inspected” last month but denied any wrongdoing and said it was co-operating with the investigation. SMI acknowledged their offices had been searched but declined to comment on the investigation.Not sure what's going on, but I think that Saab is pretty desperate to get some revenue out of its investment in the Gripen.
Saab said the company had paid SKr120,000 to SMI to sponsor a seminar by its chief executive at a Swedish trade fair last March. But Saab had no ongoing relationship with SMI and had never paid the company for information on the KF-X, it added.
