    Controversy over SNCF wartime history during Virginia rail bid

    During the 2010 selection of Keolis to operate Virginia Railway Express, Holocaust survivors and other critics called for scrutiny of SNCF’s role in transporting people during the Second World War. The controversy concerned the historical record of Keolis’ majority shareholder and whether that history should affect public contracting decisions. The available references describe public criticism and calls for investigation rather than a finding that Keolis itself had committed misconduct in the procurement.
