Amazon ends its six-year legal fight with former AWS managers over alleged data center kickbacks
Two ex-Amazon real estate managers settled Amazon's allegations that they received undisclosed personal payments tied to data centre transactions they oversaw. While characterized as ethical violations rather than illegal acts, the settlement resolves a prolonged lawsuit. One manager had been investigated by the FBI but never charged, and a court previously ruled Amazon's code of conduct was not legally binding, complicating the company's claims.
Key points
- Former AWS managers admitted to improper payments on data centre deals
- Settlement ends six-year legal battle with confidential terms
