Prosecutions of Enron staff highly unlikely, says ex-employee
As yet no Enron employees have been charged with any offence, despite a number of high-level investigations into alleged malpractice at the energy trading house.
The comments were made yesterday on the second day of testimony for David Duncan, a former Andersen accountant and head of the audit team assigned to Enron, in the US government’s case against Andersen.
Duncan told the court in Houston on Tuesday that it was "generally understood" at Andersen that Enron documents should be shredded after the federal investigation into the company had begun in October.
Duncan, the prosecution's star witness, pleaded guilty on April 9 to obstruction of justice and destroying Enron-related matter. He will be sentenced on August 26 and could receive a sentence of up to 10 years, although he hopes for less as he has co-operated with the prosecution's investigation.
