The scale of the graft is revealed in coded emails discussing
payments for Dhia Jaffar. A bribe was called a holiday; a one-day
holiday was $1 million.
...
long with FMC Technologies,
Rolls-Royce, and Weatherford, beneficiaries of Unaoil's network in the
Middle East have included a who's who of the oil service industry:
Italian firms Saipem, Rosetti Marino and Valvitalia, German company MAN
Turbo, Dutch firm SBM Offshore, Swiss company ABB, US companies The Shaw
Group, Cameron/Natco and Core Labs, Australian firm Leighton Offshore,
UK firms Petrofac, Weir and Clyde Pumps. And so on.
The leaked
emails make it clear that senior managers in some of these companies
knew, or should have suspected, that Unaoil may be acting corruptly.
Some managers appear wilfully blind to this possibility, and a small
number were actively corrupt.
... But Unaoil's biggest bribes were
paid to two men who sat around the Iraq government's cabinet table; men
who directed the future of country's oil industry, cut deals with
foreign presidents and prime ministers and attended OPEC meetings.
