Israeli police say they have gathered enough evidence to push forward a bribery case against executives in the parent firm of a company that has rehabilitated roads in Kericho, Kakamega, Machakos, among other areas in Kenya in the past few years.
Shikun and Binui, the parent company of Solel Boneh International (SBI) Holdings, is alleged to have engaged in various acts of bribery in Africa and particularly in Kenya where Israeli investigators focused on.
Reuters on Sunday quoted Israeli police saying they had completed investigations and will soon send the results to the State prosecutor’s office.
“Offences, they said, include bribery of a foreign public servant, misrepresentation of corporate documents, conspiracy, disruption of legal proceedings, money laundering and misreporting to authorities between 2008 and 2016,” added the Reuters report.
The police statement said that in Kenya alone, where their investigations were centred, “bribes totalling tens of millions of shekels were transferred, generating projects and benefits worth hundreds of millions of shekels”.
