How Cheney's firm routed $132 million in bribes to Nigeria via Tottenham lawyer |
Evidence given by Halliburton to the French inquiry reveals that
between 1996 and the present day, it paid $132.3m to Mr Tesler, more
than half of which came after 1999.
A letter from French investigators to the Nigerian authorities, asking
for co-operation in the case, says that Mr Tesler's commissions
"appear completely unjustified".
For its part, Halliburton has fired one senior executive, Jack
Stanley, who it said received improper payments from Mr Tesler.
Mr Stanley had been appointed to his senior role at Halliburton by Mr
Cheney when he was chief executive between 1995 and 2000.

How Cheney's firm routed $132m to Nigeria via Tottenham lawyer
By Solomon Hughes and Jason Nisse
A lawyer, based in offices in a run-down part of north London, worked
with three British executives from the US construction group
Halliburton to pay at least $132m in "unjustified" fees to contacts in
Nigeria.
These payments, many of which occurred when Halliburton was being run
by ***** Cheney, now the American Vice-President, helped a consortium
including the US group to win a $12bn contract to build a gas terminal
at Bonny Island in Nigeria.
In court documents submitted to a French corruption investigation,
Halliburton has admitted it paid $132m to Jeffrey Tesler, a UK lawyer.
Mr Tesler's firm, Kaye Tesler, is based on a run down high street in
Tottenham, north London.
Mr Tesler would not return calls but his French solicitor admits Mr
Tesler received the money, which he said was for advisory and other
legitimate fees.
