Lagos — The Federal Government has written to the United States government, demanding that individuals involved in the Halliburton bribery scandal be named.

In a letter signed by the Attorney-General of Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa (SAN), and addressed to the US Attorney-General, Mr. Eric Holder, Aondoakaa asked his US counterpart to avail the Nigerian government with all the evidence in his possession on the scandal.

The letter, dated February 17, 2009, said it was obvious from the allocution and indictment of Mr. Albert Stanley Jackson that the US was aware of the identities of the persons who assisted Jackson in committing the crimes.

He demanded that all information and names of the individuals involved in the scandal be named.

Swiss authorities will provide bank account details to Britain in a multimillion dollar Nigeria bribery case involving a subsidiary of Halliburton Co., court rulings said Monday.

The documents are the same as those already given to France and the United States in the case going back to the 1990s and involving bribes for contracts to build liquefied natural gas facilities in Nigeria.

The Federal Criminal Court withheld the names of the individuals and companies which is standard Swiss practice, but it was clear that it was the same case as that pursued by France and the United States.

The rulings rejected appeals from at least one British citizen and a number of firms in Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, Panama and the Bahamas that sought to block the release of the documents.
