Ex-Aluminium Bahrain Executive Charged by U.K. With Corruption - Businessweek

U.K. prosecutors charged Bruce Allan Hall with corruption and money laundering tied to his time as an executive at Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C., a smelting company in Bahrain.

An Australian national, Hall was released on conditional bail and must appear at a London criminal court next month, the Serious Fraud Office said in an e-mailed statement today. He is accused of accepting bribes over an eight-year period while he worked at the company, known as Alba, the prosecutors said.

Hall was extradited from Australia to London to face the charges, the SFO said. His co-defendant in the case, British investor Victor Dahdaleh, is also scheduled to appear at the same court hearing, the SFO said.
