Mabey & Johnson under Investigation in the UK for Allegedly Paying Bribes under the Oil-for-Food Programme


In February 2007, the UK's Serious Fraud Office confirmed that the bridge-building company Mabey & Johnson was under investigation for the alleged payment of bribes under the Oil for Food Programme.

In the past Mabey & Johnson has been the subject of allegations of bribery in the Philippines and Papua New Guinea (see other UNICORN briefings).
