Why weren’t managers charged in oil-sex scandal?為什麼沒有經理被控在石油性醜聞? Friday, September 19th, 2008 週五, 08年9月19日 By Marisa Taylor | The Interior Department’s watchdog criticized the Justice Department on Thursday for declining to prosecute the managers of an oil- and gas-royalty program that’s been tainted by allegations of illicit sex, drug use and taking favors worth thousands of dollars.泰勒的馬里薩|內政部部的監督批評司法部週四下降起訴管理者的石油和天然氣版稅計劃,一直受指控的非法性行為,吸毒和主張值得考慮幾千美元。 The Justice Department prosecuted two employees from the Minerals Management Service, but Inspector General Earl Devaney said he didn’t know why the department’s lawyers didn’t act on his recommendation to prosecute two high-ranking officials who’ve since retired.美國司法部起訴兩名僱員從礦產資源管理服務,但監察長厄爾德瓦尼說,他不知道為什麼該署的律師沒有採取行動,他建議將起訴兩名高層官員,因為誰已經退休了。 “I would have liked a more aggressive approach, and I would have liked to have seen some other people prosecuted here,” he said during a hearing before the House of Representatives’ Natural Resources Committee. “我本來希望更積極的態度,我當然也希望能看到一些其他人起訴, ”他說,在聽證會之前,國會眾議院自然資源委員會。 Last week, in three reports, Devaney implicated a dozen current and former employees of the Minerals Management Service in inappropriate or unethical relationships with industry officials.上週,在三份報告,德瓦尼牽連的十幾個現任和前任僱員的礦產資源管理服務局的不適當的或不道德的關係,與工業界官員。 He described “a culture of substance abuse and promiscuity” in the Royalty in Kind program, in which the government forgoes royalties and takes a share of the oil and gas for resale instead.他說, “文化的物質濫用和亂”的版稅中類節目,其中政府放棄使用費,並採取份額的石油和天然氣的零售代替。 From 2002 to 2006, nearly a third of the RIK staff socialized with and received gifts and gratuities from oil and gas companies.從2002年到2006年,近三分之一的工作人員社會里克和收到的禮品和酬金由石油和天然氣公司。 “Simply stated, the MMS employees named in these reports had a callous disregard for the ethical rules by which the rest of us are required to play,” he told committee members. “簡單地說,彩信員工命名在這些報告中有麻木不仁的道德規則,其餘的我們都需要發揮, ”他告訴委員會成員。 After cutting deals with prosecutors, former MMS employees Jimmy Mayberry and Milton Dial pleaded guilty to creating a lucrative MMS contract to benefit them both upon retirement.經過切割處理的檢察官,前彩信員工吉米梅伯里和米爾頓撥號認罪,創造一個利潤豐厚的彩信合同雙方受益退休時。 Devaney also recommended that the Justice Department prosecute RIK’s former Denver office director, Gregory Smith, and the former associate director of the Minerals Revenue Management office, Lucy Dennet.德瓦尼還建議,美國司法部起訴里克前丹佛辦公室主任,格雷戈里史密斯,前副主任礦產收入管理辦公室,露西•丹尼特。 The reports accuse Smith of having sex with two subordinates and improperly accepting $30,000 from a private company for marketing its services to oil and gas companies.報告指責史密斯發生性關係,有兩個下屬不當接受$ 30000從一家私營公司為推銷其服務,以石油和天然氣公司。 Dennet is accused of helping Mayberry create the contract he was awarded after his retirement. •丹尼特被指控幫助建立梅伯里合同,他被授予後退休。 The Justice Department hasn’t explained why it declined to prosecute them.美國司法部並沒有解釋為什麼它拒絕對他們提出起訴。 “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and this isn’t the first time I’ve been disappointed by decisions made over there,” Devaney said of the Justice Department. “我已經這樣做了很長一段時間,這不是我第一次感到失望作出的決定在那兒, ”德瓦尼說,司法部。 “It probably won’t be the last.” “這大概也不會是最後一次。 ” Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney said department lawyers made prosecutorial decisions “based on the facts and the law.”國務院女發言人勞拉斯威尼說律師部門提出起訴的決定“ ,根據事實和法律。 ” “That policy was followed in this instance,” she said, declining to elaborate. “這項政策後在這個例子中, ”她說,拒絕透露詳細情況。 Although his investigation is closed, Devaney said he felt that it wasn’t complete, partly because Chevron had hired lawyers for six employees implicated in the scandal who later refused to be interviewed by the inspector general.儘管他的調查已結束,德瓦尼說,他認為這是不完整的,部分是因為雪佛龍公司已聘請律師為6名僱員中有牽連的醜聞誰後拒絕接受採訪的督察長。 A former Shell employee also declined to cooperate.前殼牌公司員工也拒絕合作。 Devaney charged that Chevron, Shell, Gary-Williams Energy Corp. and Hess Corp. gave gifts to RIK staffers.德瓦尼指控說,雪佛龍,殼牌,加里威廉姆斯能源公司和赫斯公司贈送了里克的員工。 Don Campbell, a Chevron spokesman, denied that his company was uncooperative, saying that it had provided 13,000 pages of documents.不要坎貝爾,雪佛龍公司發言人,否認他的公司不合作,認為這提供了1.3萬頁的文件。 Campbell acknowledged that all six employees remain with the company.坎貝爾承認,所有六名員工留在公司。 “The report does not say, because it cannot say, that Chevron failed to follow any of the Royalty in Kind program rules and regulations,” he said. “該報告沒有說,因為它不能說,這雪佛龍公司沒有遵守任何版稅的一種程序規則和條例, ”他說。 Rep. George Miller, a Democrat from California, said he was disturbed that Chevron continued to do business “as if nothing happened.”眾議員喬治米勒,一個來自加州的民主黨說,他不安的是,雪佛龍公司繼續做生意“ ,彷彿什麼事情都沒有發生。 ” “The same people are on the front lines holding on to the same relationships,” he said. “同樣的人在前線持有相同的關係, ”他說。 Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who wasn’t leading the department at the time, told lawmakers that he planned to hire an ethics official to monitor the program and was considering firing some employees.內政部長德克肯普索恩,誰不是領導部門的時候,告訴國會議員,他計劃聘請道德官方監測計劃,並正在考慮發射的一些僱員。 Republicans on the House committee downplayed the scandal as an isolated problem involving few employees.共和黨在眾議院情報委員會的醜聞淡化作為一個孤立的問題,涉及僱員很少。 It isn’t the first time that the Interior Department has been criticized for its handling of royalty collections.這是不是第一次內政部也被批評其處理專利集合。 During the Clinton administration, Interior officials failed to catch a loophole in leases that allowed oil companies to escape paying billions of dollars in royalties.在克林頓政府執政期間,內政部的官員未能趕上漏洞租賃,允許石油企業逃避繳納數十億美元的版稅。 The Bush administration didn’t close that loophole for several years.布什政府沒有關閉這一漏洞了好幾年。 Last week, McClatchy reported that senior Justice Department officials had blocked the US attorney in Colorado from supporting a whistleblower’s suit last year, jeopardizing the government’s prospects for recovering as much as $40 million from a major oil company for alleged underpayments of royalties.上週,麥克拉奇報告說,司法部的高級官員已封鎖了美國在科羅拉多州的律師從支持舉報人的訴訟去年,危及政府的前景恢復了4000萬美元從一個主要的石油公司涉嫌不足的版稅。 Have Your Say: Why weren’t managers charged in oil-sex scandal? 你說:為什麼不經理被控在石油性醜聞?
