All news on the topic: Steward Health Care

Shaukat Ali, a Pakistani businessman who helped U.S.-based Steward Health Care secure a massive public contract in Malta, says he and his son were paid only normal consulting fees for their work. Leaked documents show they were promised much more.

Steward Health Care, a U.S. company at the heart of Malta’s biggest-ever corruption scandal, paid out nearly US$1.6 million to a private spy company just before declaring bankruptcy, filings from the case show.
