The Swiss Public Prosecutor’s Office ordered three subsidiaries of Dutch oil and gas services company SBM Offshore to pay a criminal penalty of CHF 7 million (U.S. $7.6 million) as part of the conclusion of a legacy bribery investigation.
SBM Offshore confirmed it has reached the end of its three-year deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice for FCPA violations, but the oil and gas services company is now facing a fresh corruption investigation from Swiss enforcement authorities.
Petrobras said it has received 425 million reais (U.S. $112.3 million) from leniency agreements and repatriations carried out by Brazil’s Federal Prosecutor’s Office.
