Indonesia's law minister announced their intention to take legal action against the United Kingdom's anti-corruption agency in order to claim a portion of the 991 million euros ($1.04 billion) bribery settlement that aircraft manufacturer Airbus paid to the British government.

This settlement was part of Airbus's historic $4 billion agreement with France, Britain, and the United States in 2020, following a 3.5-year criminal investigation into allegations of bribery and corruption. The investigation encompassed corrupt practices by Airbus in five different countries, including Indonesia.

A representative from the UK government emphasized the significance of their collaboration with Indonesia in combating international crime.
