新加坡吉宝岸外与海事公司(Singapore’s Keppel Offshore)美国分公司的前代理寇尼基(Zwi Skornicki),对过去十年间,对涉及向巴西官员与巴西石油公司进行达5千500万美元的贿赂认罪。

被告于周二在美国法庭上承认,他自2001-2004年期间。有份参与贿赂巴西石油公司要员,让吉宝赢得合约。根据彭博社报导,寇尼基承认,以代表吉宝岸外名义,同意支付贿金于后者。

据称,为了13项巴西石油公司在巴西的项目,寇尼基和其他数人同意支付高达5千500万美元的贿金,藉此与巴西官员“维持不当的优势和影响力”,与此同时让吉宝业务可以继续留在巴西。

回溯2017年,吉宝企业与其美国子公司在被发现涉贿赂罪,同意向美国、巴西和新加坡当局支付超过4.22亿美元(约5.67亿新元)的刑事罚款。总检察署认为吉宝企业以合法咨询协议的名义,向中间人支付巨款。中间人之后把钱转交给巴西国家石油公司等官员,让他们从中受利。

检察官罗德发表声明,“被告利用全球金融体制包括美国的银行系统,来掩盖资金来源和支付贿赂款项。他们将所有款项转交到不同的空壳公司。

他们已该方式运营了逾10年,触犯了美国《反海外腐败法》。吉宝企业的美国分公司已认罪,而总公司则与政府进入延期起诉协议。

寇尼基被控违反《反海外腐败法》,或面临最高5年的有期徒刑。另名巴西籍被告也相继在巴西已被定罪,判处220万美元的罚金。美国联邦检察官史密斯于周二在庭上表示不会向被告要求额外罚金,但也不同意他的缓刑需求,他将在9月23日判处。

另一方面,寇尼基也被指提供TechnipFMC顾问服务,TechnipFMC与其附属公司亦同意赔偿近3亿美元,解决美国与巴西联合外国调查贿赂。

TechnipFMC是一家全球石油和天然气公司,为能源行业提供完整的项目生命周期服务。

该公司承认自2003年-2013年与其他公司包括吉宝企业共谋违反贿赂法,以逾690万美元不明款项支付巴西公司,由寇尼基将款项交给巴西公司的高官,确保合约的顺利运行。

2008-2013 ,TechnipFMC也共谋违反贿赂法,支付至少7名伊拉克政府官员包括石油部长和两家伊拉克石油公司款项,透过中介公司转账。该笔款项亦是为了赢得伊拉克的丰厚的项目。

巴西国有企业巴西国家石油公司,在五年前爆发南美洲最大的贿赂丑闻,牵扯到银行、造船商、建筑公司与政治人物。为了追根究底,以“洗车行动”命名,向支付巨款的公司进行深入调查。

2018年,巴西国家石油公司被调查出企图蒙骗投资者和贿赂政治人物,同意缴交8亿余美元罚款,以平息巴西与美国的控诉。
