Bruce Hall has been sentenced to 16 months in prison for conspiracy to corrupt in relation to contracts for the supply of goods and services to a Bahraini company, Alumunium Bahrain B.S.C (Alba) of which he served as CEO from September 2001 to June 2005. Between 2002 and 2005, Mr Hall received £2.9 million in corrupt payments from Sheikh Isa Bin Ali Al Khalifa, a member of the Bahraini royal family, who was, at that time, Bahrain’s minister of finance and Alba’s chairman. In exchange for these payments, Mr Hall allowed corrupt arrangements made by Sheikh Isa before his appointment as CEO to continue.
