Bribe Case Focuses On Negotiator for Alcoa



U.S. and U.K. prosecutors are investigating a prominent Canadian businessman for criminal money laundering and bribery as part of a two-year investigation centering on Alcoa Inc., the metals giant, according to people familiar with the matter.

The prosecutors have unearthed new documents that they believe show the involvement of Victor Dahdaleh, a longtime agent of Alcoa who helped negotiate contracts with companies in the Middle East and elsewhere, according to the people familiar with the matter.

No charges have been filed against Mr. Dahdaleh, a Canadian citizen in his 60s who lives in London. His lawyer declined comment.
