Efforts to restart projects stalled by the Libyan civil war have enmeshed Canadian engineer SNC-Lavalin in controversy and apparently triggered the dismissal of two of its top executives.
On Feb. 9, the Montreal-based firm announced the dismissal related to "questions regarding the conduct" of two executives who have been "the focus of public attention." The company has not issued another statement or clarified how the two men’s efforts to assess and restart work on the Libyan projects may have violated company rules.
