BERLIN, March 7 (Reuters) - German police launched raids on housing giant Vonovia linked to an investigation by prosecutors into possible corruption in awarding contracts to third parties, the company said on Tuesday.
"Investigating authorities today inspected documents at our premises due to suspicions of allegedly problematic processes in the awarding of contracts to sub-contractors which are to the detriment of Vonovia," said the company.
It said prosecutors suspected individual employees at the operation level and that Vonovia was cooperating fully with the investigation as it was keen to quickly get clarification on the matter which pertained to financial damage.
