The first indictments over the United Nations Oil-For-Food scam do not include Kofi Annan: Three charged over oil-for-food. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

A Texas businessman, a Bulgarian and a Briton have been indicted over the UN oil-for-food programme, US federal prosecutors have said.

They are accused of taking part in an alleged scheme to pay bribes to Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq.

The bribes involved funds otherwise intended for humanitarian relief, US Attorney David Kelley said.
