Internal investigators have uncovered more than 1 billion euros ($1.4 billion) of dubious payments at Siemens' telecoms and turbines divisions, far more than previously thought.
"We're talking about enormous sums," the newspaper quoted a source at the top of the company as saying in a report published on Monday, adding that almost 900 million euros' worth of such payments had been found at the telecoms unit alone.
The newspaper said a Siemens spokesman declined to comment. Siemens was not immediately available for comment to Reuters on Monday morning.

The company said it was now reviewing significantly more business consultant agreement payments than before and was now looking at such payments at its turbines, power distribution, transport, medical and industrial services units.
