United Kingdom citizen Wojciech Chodan was charged for his alleged participation in a scheme to bribe Nigerian government officials to obtain engineering, procurement and construction contracts to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Nigeria.

Kellogg Ltd., a UK subsidiary of KBR, took part in discussions about paying bribes to Nigerian government officials in order to steer contracts to a four-company joint venture that included KBR. Chodan was charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and ten counts of violating the FCPA. In December 2010, Chodan pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the FCPA. In February 2012, he was sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and a $20,000 fine. Chodan previously was ordered to forfeit $726,885.
