The Serious Fraud Office has launched a criminal investigation into Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation (ENRC), the embattled FTSE 100 miner that has been beset by corruption allegations. The move follows efforts by the company to conduct its own investigation into allegations made by a whistleblower relating to its Kazakhstan and African businesses, the findings of which the company had been reporting to the SFO.
