LONDON-- The U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office Monday said it has
opened an investigation related to suspected corruption by metals
and mining company Rio Tinto PLC (RIO.LN) in Guinea, West
Africa.
The SFO did not give any further details of its

Rio Tinto said the company "will fully co-operate with the
Serious Fraud Office and any other relevant authorities, as it has
done since it self-reported in November 2016."
