Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency has filed charges against former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney in a $180 million bribery investigation involving Halliburton, the company he headed before taking office. Cheney, Halliburton chief executive David Lesar and six others were indicted on 16 counts for the bribing of Nigerian officials to win a lucrative gas project during the time Cheney was CEO. Former Halliburton subsidiary KBR pleaded guilty in the United States last year to bribery charges in the case.
