Koch Industries faces oil mismeasurement probe and possible charges
Washington AP Kansas based Koch Industries is under a Justice Department criminal probe for allegedly stealing oil from Indian owned wells. The investigation follows a Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs inquiry that cited Koch employees as mismeasuring oil on six occasions. Koch disputes the findings and says the committee relied on inaccurate statistics and that a vendetta motivates the trouble. The U.S. attorney in Oklahoma City will decide whether to prosecute after Koch’s side is heard. The committee plans to finalize its report this fall.
