The Scorpene deal scam was an Indian bribery scandal, in which USD 175 million (Rupees 1,100 crores) were alleged to have been paid to government decision makers by Thales.[1] Defence minister Pranab Mukherjee had approved a deal to build Scorpène-class submarines worth US$3 billion (Rupees 19,000 crores) with Thales, France in October 2005. The investigating agency, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), found no evidence of corruption in the deal in 2008.[2][3] Scorpène-class submarines are now being built in India under a technology transfer agreement that was part of that contract.
