![]() Irving was one of three men charged in New York in 2005 with cheating the United Nations of at least $100 million that should have gone to humanitarian aid for Iraqis. The other two - Texas oil executive David Chalmers and Bulgarian oil trader Ludmil Dionissiev - have pleaded not guilty to the charges. The extradition warrant accuses Irving of colluding with Chalmers and others to defraud the U.N. and pay ``illegal and secret commissions and surcharges to officials of the government of Iraq'' between January 2000 and March 2003. |
