The New York Post reports that the former CEO of Taqa is suing his former employer for $460 million. Taqa is a state-owned energy company based in Abu Dhabi (the capital of the United Arab Emirates) – its U.S. offices are headquartered in Ann Arbor. The former CEO, Peter Barker-Homek, filed six counts against Taqa on Friday. Barker-Homek alleges that he was fired in October 2009 because he “tried to put a stop to the kickbacks, bribery, accounting fraud and corruption at Taqa.” [Source]
