Tony Fernandes Bribery Investigation

That's a very good point about the court case kingfisher,. It would appear that TF is standing down to facilitate a probe by Malaysian authorities who are  looking into allegations that European aerospace giant Airbus paid the company $50 million to secure a plane order.

Reports said Britain's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) probing the corruption charges allegedly implicated two executives of AirAsia as the probe widened. 

AirAsia has been pulled into investigations which have seen European planemaker Airbus fined a record €3.6 billion ($4 billion or £3 billion) to settle the corruption probe by authorities in France, Britain and the United States.

The airline's board formed a committee to review the allegations and said both men would stand down "for a period of two months or such other period that the company may deem fit."

It seems that so many countries are involved In the investigation it could be anywhere although I would assume because Air Asia are being investigated by the Malaysian authorities it would be there. I suspect that its all about jurisdiction and the British SFO have to pass over their information to the  Malaysian SFO for them to investigate.
