Former Sierra Rutile CEO denies bribery claims

Sierra Leone Presidential candidate and former CEO of Sierra Rutile John Sisay has denied allegations that he was involved in bribery to secure mining licences in the African nation.

Reports emerged this week alleging that mineral sands miner Iluka had uncovered suspected bribe payments by Sisay and London-listed Sierra Rutile prior to Iluka acquiring the company in a A$375-million transaction in December last year.
