He had faced five bribery-related charges and one count of obstructing justice
Former Sembcorp Marine CEO Wong Weng Sun has been acquitted of all six criminal charges brought against him in a corruption case in Brazil. The acquittal came after prosecutors decided to issue Wong a stern warning in lieu of prosecution, following a review that took into account the dismissal of related criminal proceedings in Brazil against the agent at the center of the case. The State Courts granted Wong a discharge amounting to an acquittal on September 24, following an application by the prosecution.
