Former Leighton Holdings chief operating officer David Savage was arrested on Monday leaving a Sydney hotel and charged with two counts of giving false or misleading information in a long-running investigation into alleged bribes paid to secure contracts in Iraq.
He is the second former Leighton executive to be charged after Russell Waugh, 54, who once ran the Indian joint venture Leighton Welspun Contractors, was arrested in November.
