Two former Sembcorp Marine executives acquitted of charges in Brazil corruption case
Former Sembcorp Marine president Wong Weng Sun and former Jurong Shipyard senior general manager Lee Fook Kang were issued stern warnings in lieu of prosecution.
Former Sembcorp Marine president Wong Weng Sun and Jurong Shipyard senior general manager Lee Fook Kang have been acquitted of all corruption charges in Brazil. Prosecutors opted for stern warnings instead of prosecution. The two were charged in March 2024 for alleged bribery of Brazilian officials between 2009 and 2014, involving around US$44 million.
Wong was the president of Sembcorp Marine and Jurong Shipyard at the time, while Lee was the senior general manager of Jurong Shipyard. The charges stemmed from a CPIB investigation into Seatrium, which merged Keppel Offshore and Marine and Sembcorp Marine in 2023. Seatrium, now under deferred prosecution agreement, paid US$110 million and US$131 million to Brazilian authorities over corruption allegations.
