I don't see Cheney agreeing to leave Ballintober, his nine-acre spread in St. Michael's that includes extensive gardens [and] ornamental pools…for the prison cells of Nigeria.
In February 2009, KBR (which was spun off as a separate company in 2007) pleaded guilty to the Department of Justice of conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in connection with the Bonny Island project. Halliburton agreed to cover the majority of $579 million in criminal fines and fees that the two companies were assessed to resolve the matter. Snamprogetti has agreed to pay $365 million, Technip will pay $338 million and Japan Gasoline Corp. is also expected to settle for a large sum of money.
But court authorities both in this country and Nigeria are not satisfied that all the guilty parties have been brought to justice. To that end, U.S. authorities have issued Interpol arrest warrants for Jeffrey Tesler and Wojciech Chodan, two British men who allegedly arranged the bribes.
