The Federal Police Raids Offices of Jurong Aracruz Shipyard Ltda (“EJA”), a Brazilian Subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine, Manufacturer of Offshore Platforms from Singapore.

In an action on the Singapore Stock Exchange, SembCorp Marine said that the search warrant being executed by Brazilian authorities was related to Operation Car Wash in Brazil, which is a years-long investigation into a corruption scandal involving Petrobras.

SembcorpMarine said: “The company fully cooperated with the Brazilian Federal Police and provided materials within the scope of the warrant. The Company understands that this search was related to investigations against Guilherme Esteves de Jesus, a former consultant hired by EJA in Brazil.”
“Guilherme Esteves de Jesus was arrested by the Brazilian Federal Police. He is currently facing ongoing criminal charges that have not been concluded,” SembcorpMarine said.

The current investigations also involve Martin Cheah Kok Choon, former president of Jurong Aracruz Shipyard.

“The company wishes to reiterate that the Group is committed to the highest standards of compliance with anti-corruption laws and does not tolerate and will not tolerate any improper business conduct,” SembcorpMarine said.

This is not the first time Sembcorp Marine is linked to a bribery scandal in the Brazilian oil sector, and this is not the first time Guilherme Esteves de Jesus is mentioned in relation to alleged corruption.

Notably, Guilherme Esteves de Jesus was arrested in March 2015 as a person linked to drilling contracts between Sete Brasil and Sembcorp Marine, after a former Petrobras director accused the two largest Singaporean construction companies, Sembcorp Marine and Keppel, of paying bribes to obtain equipment contracts in Brazil. The two companies at the time issued statements denying the allegations.

However, in 2017, Keppel agreed to pay fines totaling US $422 million to resolve charges stemming from a decade-long scheme of paying millions of dollars in bribes to public officials in Brazil.

According to admissions and court documents, starting at least in 2001 and continuing at least until 2014, Keppel paid approximately US $55 million in bribes to officials at Brazil’s state-owned Petrobras and to the then political party in Brazil, to win 13 contracts with Petrobras and another Brazilian entity.
