==Under investigation and relocating to Dubai==
"Halliburton is under [[Justice Department]] [[Securities and Exchange Commission]] [http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ai79binkGVrI&refer=home investigation ] over allegations of improper dealings in [[Iraq]], [[Kuwait]] and [[Nigeria]]," Whitley Strieber [http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=6043 wrote] March 12, 2007.
Halliburton announced on March 12, 2007, that "it would open a corporate headquarters in the [[United Arab Emirates]] city of [[Dubai]] and move its chairman and chief executive, [[David J. Lesar]], there." [http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/12/business/web-0312halliburton.php] "Halliburton will remain a US company subject to US laws, but Dubai has no extradition agreement with the United States, meaning that Mr. Lesar could not be compelled to return to the US to testify, stand trial or serve any sentence related to any Halliburton activities under investigation."
