Panorama unveils new revelations about the corrupt practices deployed by one of Britain's biggest companies.

Now the programme uncovers evidence of bribery in South Africa and Zimbabwe. It shows how the multi-billion pound British company secretly paid almost 200 informants as part of a covert operation to damage its competitors.
