* on 6 Feb 2023, Indranee Rajah reported that former senior management staff members of Keppel Offshore & Marine were not prosecuted over a multimillion-dollar bribery case due to insufficient evidence to establish their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt | |||
* she said this was partly because several potential key overseas witnesses would not agree to come to Singapore to testify | |||
* many MPS and the public had earlier questioned why the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) and Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) chose not to prosecute the officers, and the perceived light penalty from the government | |||
* CPIB only gave stern warnings to the six former senior management staff members of Keppel O&M for a US$55 million (S$73 million) bribery case involving Brazilian oil giant Petrobras. | |||
* this was despite Keppel O&M admitting to making the bribes in an agreed statement of facts it signed with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2017, as part of a deferred prosecution agreement. | |||
* As part of a global resolution involving the DOJ, and authorities in Brazil and Singapore, Keppel O&M paid US$422 million in fines. | |||
* However, the illegal payments purportedly allowed Keppel O&M and its related companies to earn profits of more than US$350 million from business corruptly obtained in Brazil. | |||
