Current Affairs Hyundai contract signed amid corruption scandal
After days of speculation, it's been signed and sealed - a contract that should secure the biggest single foreign investment in the Czech Republic since the fall of communism. Czech government officials on Thursday signed a contract with the South Korean car maker Hyundai on the construction of a major car plant in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. But, behind the smiles and handshakes, there was an air of uncertainty. The absence of Hyundai's chairman Chung Mong Koo - indicted on corruption charges - has evoked speculation as to whether Hyundai will be able to meet its commitments.
