A court in the Canadian province of Alberta has cleared outsourcer Affiliated Computer Services of charges it rigged the bidding for a photo radar contract by bribing local officials.
ACS was charged in 2005 with offering hockey tickets and other incentives to police officials in the city of Edmonton in an effort to win the $90 million contract.
An Alberta court judge dismissed the charges earlier this week, citing a lack of evidence.
"We would not tolerate the type of conduct alleged against our employees in these proceedings," said ACS president and CEO Lynn Blodgett, in a statement.
ACS continues to run Edmonton's photo radar system on a month-to-month basis, but the project will revert to city-employed tech personnel within the next two years.
