Fund was maintained as a Gibraltar-registered entity named Tri-Star Investments, which was controlled by UK solicitor [[Jeffrey Tesler]], who was also a financial manager for members of the Nigerian [[Sani Abacha]] regime.
In 1994 TSKJ set up a Madeira-based shell corporation, [[LNG ServicesServicos]][http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=9869]. Funds were transfered to LNG Services by TSKJ for "support contracts". Then equal amounts were moved to Tri-Star, which disbursed the funds to secret bank accounts, one of which, a numbered Swiss account, was controlled by KBR chairman [[Albert 'Jack' Stanley]].
The slush fund is currently being investigated by the US [[Department of Justice]] and [[Securities and Exchange Commission]], the UK [[Serious Fraud Office]], the French ''juge d'instruction'' [[Renaud Van Ruymbeke]], and a committee of the Nigerian parliament. Several principals, such as Tesler and [[Technip SA|Technip]] executive [[George Krammer]], appear to be cooperating with the authorities.
