The Payment Resulted from a Bribery Case in 2010 Involving the State Oil Company. Honeywell Illegally Paid a Member of the Brazilian Government US$4 Million to Secure a Contract with Petrobras.
Petrobras’ agreement is part of a global resolution. According to the oil company, the agreement was made with the Federal Auditor General and the Federal Attorney General. The measure “is part of a global resolution” involving the Federal Ministry of Public Affairs (MPF) and the United States. Petrobras did not disclose the names of those who received the bribe or the value of the contracts.
“The instrument is part of a global resolution, which involved coordinated action with MPF and U.S. authorities,” said Petrobras, mentioning that it did not have access to the agreement.
The agreement occurred on the same day that the SEC announced a fine of US$ 81 million to settle bribery accusations involving Honeywell in Algeria and Brazil. The company will also pay R$ 180 million in fines to the league, raising the total cost to nearly R$ 1 billion.
