The Great Motorcar Scandal

The Great Motorcar Scandal was a corruption scheme in the early 20th century involving the British government and car manufacturers. Officials secretly accepted bribes from companies to prioritize their vehicles for government contracts and favors. This compromised fair competition, leading to inflated prices and unfair advantages for certain manufacturers. The scandal was eventually exposed, damaging public trust in government procurement processes and prompting reforms to ensure transparency and integrity in official dealings with private industry.
