By Emilio Parodi MILAN (Reuters) - Italian prosecutors are investigating two former finance chiefs of Booking.com in relation to allegations of unpaid taxes by the travel website company and have asked Dutch authorities to question them, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. Italy s tax police in June last year alleged that Booking.com had evaded 153 million euros ($175 million) of value added tax (VAT) in connection with holiday rentals booked through its platform from 2013 to 2019.

The companies have argued Mexico has failed to establish its harms were attributable to them and that a U.S. law, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, protected gun makers from lawsuits over their products misuse.

Pakistan says ICAO withdaws safety objection after pilot scandal

By Syed Raza Hassan KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has said Pakistan’s civil aviation regulator has resolved significant safety concerns that arose from a 2020 scandal over fake pilot licences, Pakistani authorities said on Wednesday. Pakistan grounded 262 airline pilots in June 2020 after they were suspected of cheating on mandatory licence tests - a scandal that tainted Pakistan’s aviation industry and its flag carrier, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), which European and U.S. aviation regulators barred from there territories. It has withdrawn its objection on significant safety concerns,” a spokesman for Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority, Saifullah Khan, said, referring to the ICAO. A representative of the ICAO, a U.N. aviation agency, was not immediately available for comment. The scandal came to light following the crash of a PIA plane in May 2020 in the city of Karachi, in which 97 people were killed. [L1N2SY0JB] Paki ....
