The Office of Institutional Integrity submitted a Statement of Charges and Evidence (“Statement of Charges”) against a principal respondent firm (“Principal Respondent”) for allegedly engaging in fraudulent and corrupt practices related to the Innovation in School Infrastructure Program. The Sanctions Officer (“SO”) determined that it is more likely than not that the Principal Respondent engaged in fraudulent and corrupt practices. As a result, the SO imposed a sanction of debarment for a period of ten (10) years, during which time the Principal Respondent will be ineligible to participate or be awarded contracts for projects or activities financed by the Bank Group. In the Statement of Charges, OII argued that the Principal Respondent is a legal entity under the control of the Individual Respondent and requested that any sanction imposed on the former also be imposed on the latter. The SO concluded that there was insufficient evidence to determine that the Individual Respondent exercised control over the sanctioned Principal Respondent. Consequently, the SO dismissed the extension of sanction request and terminated the proceeding against the Individual Respondent.
