Cancelled report analysis suggests that secrecy break in SBM Offshore
The meeting on Wednesday (10) of the external committee that investigated allegations of bribe payment in the negotiations between the Dutch company SBM Offshore and Petrobras was canceled for lack of quorum.
It is the third time that the committee tries to vote on the final report of the group's coordinator, Mr Maurice Quintella Lessa (PR-AL), without success. With the end of the legislative year, the committee is likely to be closed without approving the text.
Break secrets
Quintella Lessa suggests, in its final report, the breakdown of telephone secrecy, tax and banking representative of SBM in Brazil, Julio Faerman, and two companies linked to it (Faercom Energia Ltda and Oildrive Consulting Energy and Petroleum Ltd. .). There is the suspicion that he would be the intermediary payment of bribes to employees of Petrobras.
The call Faerman has already been approved by the CPMI since June, but he has not been heard by the committee.
The final report also recommends the investigation of four companies abroad (Bienfaire, Jandell, Journey Advisors and Hades Production Inc.) that could be linked to Faerman.
Report
According to indictment published in the Wikipedia site by former employee of SBM, Jonathan David Taylor, the company would have received Faerman deposits equivalent to 3% of the contracts signed between SBM and Petrobras, and 2% would have been paid to employees Petrobras.
The final report calls for breaking bank secrecy, telephone and tax of Petrobras directors involved in the execution and delivery of contracts signed between SBM and Petrobras.
In May, the group's coordinator, Mr Maurice Quintella Lessa (PR-AL), released a preliminary report in which he explains that the committee had difficulty determining information because it has no power to call witnesses or break secrets, as have committees of inquiry .
Bribery
On November 12, SBM Offshore announced an agreement with the prosecution of the Netherlands to close an investigation on payment of bribes in Equatorial Guinea, Angola and Brazil. The company accepted the punishment of $ 240 million for irregular payments that occurred between 2007 and 2011 and reported by the prosecution. Of these, most were destined for Brazil, US $ 139.1 million.
The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) opened on the same day a process to investigate the matter. If punished by CGU, SBM can be prevented from signing new contracts with Petrobras.
The president of Petrobras, Grace Foster confirmed, the 17th, that the state knew since March bribes to officials. According to her, after the account of the bribe, the SBM cleared the bidding of the state. The current contracts, however, were not changed.
The state has, since 1996, 27.67 billion dollars in contracts with SBM Offshore to charter ten platforms (nine rents and construction). Of the 23 platforms FPSO (Floating Production Units, Storage and Offloading) Petrobras, eight are of SBM Offshore.
Weer niets uit brazilie damn.. wat een zooitje daar
Had gehoopt op iets meer nieuws...
Al lijkt het erop dat het verdomd moeilijk zal woorden om SBMO aan te klagen.
lack of quorum wil zegggen dat er te weinig mensen kwam op dagen.
Dus mogelijk is geen nieuws uiteindelijk goed nieuws.
