Former Tory leader Michael Howard to be questioned by fraud office in Soma probe

‘Former Conservative leader Michael Howard is to be questioned by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) as part of its criminal investigation into Soma Oil and Gas in relation to allegations of corruption in Somalia.

Lord Howard, who led the party for two years until 2005, chairs the resources firm, which denies any wrongdoing.

“The SFO have confirmed that no suspicion whatsoever attaches to Lord Howard arising from the business of SOMA and his role as a non-executive director of the company and he has agreed to speak with the SFO to help resolve their enquiry as quickly as possible,” said Soma.

The natural resources exploration firm, which is registered in the UK, signed a deal with the Somali government in August 2013 to develop the oil and gas industry in the troubled east African nation.’
