HOUSTON, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- Halliburton will pay Nigeria $35 million to settle a bribery case that led to charges against Richard Cheney and others, the company said.
Nigerian officials charged the former U.S. vice president, who led Halliburton in the 1990s, and nine other executives with conspiracy and "distribution of gratification to public officials." They said the Kellogg, Brown and Root subsidiary paid bribes to get $6 billion in contracts for a liquefied natural gas project in the Niger Delta.
