Britain’s Serious Fraud Office said on Thursday Glencore’s former oil chief Alex Beard has been charged with bribery related to the Swiss commodities trader’s African operations.
Beard, 56, was charged with two counts of conspiracy to bribe government officials and state oil company officials in Nigeria between 2010 and 2014, and to Cameroon between 2007 and 2014, the SFO said.
He is one of five former Glencore employees charged with conspiracy to commit bribery.
