ABP Head West Takes Stand in Own Defense
ABP founder Frank R. West testified in U S district court in Omaha on charges of conspiracy and fraud tied to more than 20 million dollars in diversions. West disputed government claims of a scheme and said factors like plant cost overruns and cattle market declines caused ABP’s troubles. He asserted limited daily involvement in financing and slaughter matters while noting other officers handled diversions and that he only learned of them when GECC flagged them last December.
