Huawei's Chinese management offered rewards for confidential information collected from other companies. The company even had a competition management group that reviewed all of the collected information.

It is a recent event. An ex BND chief allegedly sold some secrets via Swiss companies and directly (he met their agents) to a former Soviet country (allegedly Azerbaijan but it has been refuted by both the BND and Azerbaijanis).
