Nigeria drops Dick Cheney bribery charges

[WestVirginiaRebel]

BBC News:

Nigeria has dropped charges against former US Vice-President Dick Cheney over a 1990s bribery scandal, anti-corruption officials say.

The case focused on bribes paid by engineering firm KBR while it was a subsidiary of Halliburton, a firm headed by Mr Cheney at the time.

Nigerian officials said Halliburton agreed an out-of-court deal worth $250m (£160m). The firm has not commented.

Mr Cheney, who became vice-president in 2001, has always denied wrongdoing.

Femi Babafemi, of Nigeria's anti-corruption agency EFCC, said Halliburton had agreed to pay $250m "in lieu of prosecution".

He said $130m of the money would be repatriated from foreign bank accounts.

AFP news agency reported that the money in foreign accounts was part of the bribery scheme, but had been frozen before it had reached Nigeria.

Halliburton, which split from KBR in 2007, has not commented on the deal but has insisted it has done nothing wrong.

So I guess this means they'll stop sending him letters telling him they've found the money?

[Valin]

I can't tell you how relieved I am.

So I guess those emails from Nigeria I've been getting that read "Hi, I'm Dick Cheney and I'm in Nigerian court. Please send me $1000 to help my defense fund." are real?

No they are not. But if you send me the money I'll make sure it gets into the right hands

Last I heard from Dick he had an accident (mugged) lost his wallet and all identification at the Nigerian airport and desperately needed me to wire him funds via an electronic draft before he was arrested for possible "terrorist infiltration" activities.

Instead I gave him my contact's name there who is preparing to send me my billion dollar lottery win.

(Can't recall my Soc. Sec. number off hand though so guess I will substitute NCT's --I know his)
