Former Sembcorp Marine CEO Wong Weng Sun acquitted of charges in Brazil corruption case

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.
