Round 2? US says it has new evidence British MP took bribes from Saddam By Vicki Allen in Washington October 26, 2005 United States congressional investigators said they had amassed evidence that a maverick British MP profited from the United Nations oil-for-food program for Iraq and knowingly made false or misleading statements to Congress when he denied that. The Senate Governmental Affairs subcommittee on investigations will hand over its 60-page findings on George Galloway to the US Justice Department and to British authorities, said the panel chairman, Senator Norm Coleman. Congressional investigators said Mr Galloway could face charges in the US of perjury, making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Each charge carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a $US250,000 ($A330,000) fine. Appearing before the sub-committee in May, Mr Galloway ridiculed Mr Coleman and rejected as "utterly preposterous" accusations he profited from the defunct oil-for-food program. A spokesman for Mr Galloway, Ron McKay, said the politician was willing to appear in a US court if charged with perjury. Earlier, Mr Galloway released a statement saying: "I have not made a penny out of oil deals with Iraq or indeed any other kind of deal." continued................ smh.com.au
