Oil & Gas Eurasia - Reviews and Analysis of World, CIS and Russian Energy Market - Think the “Foreign Corrupt Practices Act” is a U.S. Issue? Think Again!   "Last February the former chief executive of KBR, Inc. was sentenced to 30 months in prison for his role in a massive, decade-long scheme to bribe Nigerian government officials to win $6 billion in contracts for development of the Bonny Island liquefied natural gas facility.  Albert “Jack” Stanley, 69, had pleaded guilty in September 2008 in a scheme to route $182 million in bribes to Nigerian government officials. And his sentencing sent a chill through executive suites of not just U.S. corporations, but multi-national and non-U.S. foreign corporations as well."

"The case, decided in U.S. Federal Court in Houston, represents the largest and most successful investigation in history under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPА). In pleading guilty to the charges, Stanley agreed to make restitution of $10.8 million, of which $1.55 million remains to be paid. He also faces seven years in prison, though his lawyer has asked that prison time be commuted to house arrest because his cooperation helped secure eight felony guilty pleas, four deferred-prosecution agreements and total fines of $1.7 billion.  But what really caught the attention of the executive suite world-wide was the degree to which persons and companies outside of the United States became caught up in a bribery and kick-back scandal prosecuted under a law generally thought to affect only U.S. companies."
