A former top executive at Kellogg, Brown & Root Inc. has been sentenced to prison for his role in a decade-long bribery and kickback scheme.
Albert “Jack” Stanley, 69, was sentenced to 30 months in prison for conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and for conspiring to commit mail and wire fraud.
U.S. District Judge Keith P. Ellison also ordered Stanley to serve three years of supervised release following the prison term and to pay $10.8 million in restitution to KBR, the victim of the separate kickback scheme.
Stanley pleaded guilty on September 3, 2008, to a two-count criminal information charging him with one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA and one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
The scheme involved bribery of Nigerian government officials to obtain engineering, procurement and construction contracts, and a separate kickback scheme involving KBR.
Two of Stanley’s co-conspirators, Jeffrey Tesler and Wojciech J. Chodan, were also sentenced by Judge Ellison. Tesler, 63, was sentenced to 21 months in prison, followed by two years of supervised release. Chodan, 74, was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to pay a $20,000 fine.
The investigation and prosecution of the case resulted in more than $1.7 billion in penalties, disgorgement and forfeitures.
