Tauzin: Illegal Enron Activity Found


Feb 6 1:06pm ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional investigators have uncovered "substantial
evidence of illegal activity" by the now-bankrupt Enron Corp. and its management,
Rep. Billy Tauzin, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said on
Wednesday.

"This activity served to deceive the public about Enron's financial condition," Tauzin, a
Louisiana Republican, said in prepared remarks opening a hearing to probe the
collapse of the former energy giant and the actions by its auditor Andersen.

Enron's auditor "knew or should have discovered the fraudulent nature" of certain
transactions with outside partnerships managed by former Enron Chief Financial
Officer Andrew Fastow, he said.

"We have found that Enron's financial statements violated numerous existing
accounting rules," Tauzin said.
