The Federal Public Ministry Requested the Inclusion of SBM Offshore in Investigations That Caused Million-Dollar Losses to the State-Owned Company

The Dutch SBM Offshore has been added to the MPF list to be investigated regarding administrative improprieties and frauds in the hiring of offshore service units in Brazil, naturally requested by Petrobras at the time. The official announcement was made by the press office of the Federal Public Ministry yesterday (28).

According to the filed action, the damages exceed US$ 300 million to Petrobras, which also points to more culprits, including SBM Holding and SBM Offshore do Brasil. According to the MPF’s ruling, not only the company in the Netherlands will be involved in these inquiries, but also its Brazilian subsidiaries, as all central negotiations of the company go through here:

“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.
