“Whatever the nomenclature or legal form adopted, SBM Offshore do Brasil Ltda acts as a branch, agency or subsidiary of the SBM Group in Brazil,” exclaimed Daniella Sueira, Renato Oliveira, Rodrigo Lines, and Tatiana Flores, current prosecutors of the Republic.

In the report of this action, filed in the first bimonthly period of 2018, the loss to the state-owned company’s coffers amounts to US$ 303.3 million, and these operations comprise the period between 2009 and 2013. The investigations even point to a department specialized in “bribery payments or a fund for deposits” to Petrobras employees, closely linked to the former sales agent of the company in Brazil, Julio Faerman.

According to the investigations, the amounts deposited in this fund total US$ 274.4 so far. In order for these payments to be possible, Julio Faerman’s company provided consultancy for SBM’s sales in exchange for commissions that reached 10%, varying with the specifics of each successful contract.
