The SFO did the Guinness Job and got four wins against four [ make that three and a half ] Jews. They cocked up the Al Yamamah Job. In the death Blair told them to go away because the Saudis were customers, important customers, too important to be pestered about bribes. BAE got aggravation after flogging a radar system to Tanzania. Bribes were paid of course. Nausea ensued; a win for the SFO. If you want to know about them do not bother with the Main Stream Media. They are propaganda machines. Go to Private Eye. PE 1336/32 tells us about the Jew, Tchenguiz screwing them. So does Politics In Iceland.
Serious Fraud Office ex Wiki
QUOTE
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is an independent UK Government department that investigates and prosecutes serious or complex fraud and corruption. Accountable to the Attorney General, it has jurisdiction over England, Wales and Northern Ireland and assists a number of overseas investigations by obtaining information from UK sources Section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act 1987 grants the SFO special compulsory powers to require any person (or business/bank) to provide any relevant documents (including confidential ones) and answer any relevant questions including ones about confidential matters.The SFO is also the principal enforcer of the Bribery Act 2010, which has been designed to encourage good corporate governance and enhance the reputation of the City of London and the UK as a safe place to do business.

SFO Criticisms
QUOTE
In 2008, an official internal "Review of the Serious Fraud Office" compared the SFO unfavourably with two of its counterparts in New York City: the offices of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the New York County District Attorney. It found that the American prosecutors obtained higher conviction rates in a shorter amount of time with fewer resources.[20] It also found that the SFO had significantly lower conviction rates than elite divisions of the UK Crown Prosecution Service.[20] It attributed the SFO's relatively poor performance to, among other things, failure to keep all court advocacy "in-house", failure to assign each case a single lawyer who managed it "from cradle to grave", failure to interview witnesses at an early stage, and failure to co-operate closely with the police.[20]The Al-Yamamah arms deal during the 1980s was a large scale aircraft and weapons deal between the UK and Saudi Arabia. It was extended throughout the 1990s and saw thousands of UK citizens living and working in Saudi Arabia representing £40bn worth of business. BAE Systems Plc was the primary contractor.[21]
In 2004 the SFO began to investigate the contracts within the al-Yamamah deal on the grounds of suspected false accounting, but the investigation was controversially dropped in 2006.[22] The decision was made following concerns about national security[23][24] amidst reports that the Saudi Government would stop sharing counter terrorist information with the UK if the investigation continued.[21] This drew criticism from number of sources, not least from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).[25] A High Court review in 2008 ruled that the SFO had acted unlawfully by dropping the corruption investigation[26] but was later overturned on appeal by the SFO to the House of Lords.[27]

Vincent Tchenguiz
QUOTE
Vincent Tchenguiz (born October 1956) is a [ allegedly ] British entrepreneur born in Tehran, brother of Robert Tchenguiz. His family hails from an Iraqi-Jewish background. His family left Iraq in 1948 and settled in Iran, at which time the family changed their name from Khadouri to Tchenguiz. In 1979 the family left Iran following the fall of the Shah.Vincent Tchenguiz completed his Iranian education in Tehran in 1973. He subsequently completed a business administration course at Boston University and then went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Commerce and a Bachelor of Science Honours in Economics from Montreal’s McGill University in 1978. A master’s degree in business administration from New York University followed two years later.[2]
Upon completion of university, Vincent Tchenguiz took employment in London with Prudential Bache as senior vice president of their fund management division, where he traded financial instruments. In 1986, he went on to another senior vice president position, this time trading financial instruments for Shearson Lehman Brothers in London.[2]
Two years later, he and brother Robert established a commercial property business, Rotch Property Group. Vincent Tchenguiz is joint managing director and joint chairman. In 2002, Vincent Tchenguiz set up Consensus Business Group, assuming the position of chairman. Consensus functions as the principal advisor to a family trust, advising on an investment portfolio of residential freeholds and commercial properties valued by Lazard in 2012 at approximately 3.0 billion pounds. Consensus also advises on other investments, including health care, clean technology, homeland security and holdings in funds valued at around 200 million pounds.[citation needed]
On March 10, 2011, Vincent Tchenguiz was arrested by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) as part of a wider investigation into the collapse of Icelandic bank, Kaupthing. However, he was released the same day without charge.[3]
Subsequently, on March 16, 2011 the High Court in London ruled that Vincent Tchenguiz could sue Icelandic bank, Kaupthing for damages of £1 billion ($1.6 billion).[4] In September 2011, Kaupthing reached an out of court settlement with the Tchenguiz Family Trust in their pursuit of damages against the Icelandic bank.[5] All details of the settlement remain confidential.
On 5 December 2011, Vincent Tchenguiz and other parties in the case wrote to SFO, outlining details of allegation against the government department and seeking damages of c.£100 million.[citation needed]
On 22 December 2011, the SFO and the Treasury Solicitors Department (TSoI) admitted factual errors in the information used to obtain the warrants against Consensus Business Group and Vincent Tchenguiz; stated that the warrants should be quashed; and that material seized under the warrants would be returned that day. Furthermore, the SFO offered to pay reasonable legal costs.[citation needed]
Vincent Tchenguiz said: “It beggars belief that the SFO has taken so long to realise the error of their ways and I do not regard their actions … as being of their own initiative – their hand has been forced by our legal actions. Whilst I am glad that they have conceded to pay the significant legal costs incurred – the damage their actions have caused, both financial and to my reputation, are far greater. I intend to pursue them through the civil courts for damages.” [6]
In December 2012 the Financial Times reported that the brothers are to seek up to £180m in damages from the SFO.[7]

Victor Dahdaleh, a Jordanian fixer walks because prosecution witnesses stop talking. He is still being done in America for $1 billion. This one was a bribe of £39 million, a relative trifle.
