A solicitor in a small north London firm has been named in connection with a $180m (£100m) French and American corruption investigation which could lead to the indictment of Dick Cheney, the US vice-president.
Jeffrey Tesler, a partner in Kaye Tesler & Co in Tottenham, has been identified in the French press as a financial intermediary in the deal being investigated.
The Paris inquiry, led by Judge Renaud van Ruymbeke, concerns allegations of bribery against an international consortium building a $4bn liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in Nigeria during the regime of the late dictator Sani Abacha.
The leading member of the consortium, Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), is a subsidiary of the US company Halliburton, where Mr Cheney was chief executive officer until three years ago.
