The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) announced Thursday it has closed its bribery and corruption investigation into the activities of U.S. engineering services company KBR’s British subsidiaries and employees, weeks after the U.K. Supreme Court unanimously ruled the agency breached its authority in the case.
The decision to end the probe followed “a thorough investigation of the available evidence,” the SFO said. “The evidence in this case did not meet the evidential test as defined in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.”
