Paris, France, Jun. 2 (UPI) -- Paris officials investigating suspicious payments from a consortium that includes French interests now have possible evidence of a Halliburton link.

Last October French investigators began looking at a Gibraltar group called Tristar that got $180 million for "commercial services," the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The payment came from a consortium known as TSKJ, jointly controlled by Halliburton's Kellog Brown & Root, Technip of France, a unit of Italy's ENI and Japan Gasoline.

TSKJ has contracts worth nearly $5 billion to build and expand Nigeria's liquefied natural gas capacity.
