World Bank Listing of Ineligible Firms & Individuals

FRAUD AND CORRUPTION
This List is Current

The firms and individuals listed in Table 1 below are ineligible to be awarded a World Bank-financed contract for the periods indicated because they have been sanctioned under the Bank’s fraud and corruption policy as set forth in the Procurement Guidelines or the Consultant Guidelines. Such sanction was imposed as the result of:

(1) an administrative process conducted by the Bank that permitted the accused firms and individuals to respond to the allegations. Through July 2007, this process was conducted in accordance with the Sanctions Committee Procedures adopted on August 2, 2001. Since then, the process has been conducted in accordance with the Sanctions Procedures of the World Bank Group Sanctions Board.

OR

(2) cross-debarment in accordance with the Agreement for Mutual Enforcement of Debarment Decisions dated 9 April 2010, which, as of July 1, 2011, has been made effective by the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Inter-American Development Bank, and African Development Bank.

The Bank may also apply other actions to firms and individuals that do not result in debarment. For the current list, see Table 2: Other Actions.

To report allegations of fraud and corruption in Bank-financed projects, please contact the Integrity Vice Presidency.

    Even the fact that they listed him under two names is telling.

    • it-Tezi ta' Mario says:

      He was listed under two names because he tried to fool the World Bank after having been caught out the first time.

      Nair is 52-53 years old now. He was around 40 when he was barred the first time. Its a fair assumption that he had been involved in shady deals for at least a decade, if not longer, before the World Bank finally caught up with him.

    The World Bank must update his address to Malta.

  3. michael seychell says:

    This person may not have a face, but he seems to have more names to choose from as may be necessary.

    • Paul Bonnici says:

      It’s about time someone took a photo of him, the public has a duty to know more about this person, at least see what he looks like.
