Keppel’s Brazilian agent dodges bidding fraud charges

His relationship with Keppel is still on hold.

Brazilian prosecutors have not filed charges Zwi Skornicki, Keppel’s local agent, for conducting illegal cartel activities and fraud against competitive bidding.

Keppel said in a statement that although the Brazilian Public Prosecutor’s Office has found evidence of bidding fraud, it has not charged Skornicki for possible offences at this point in time.

Skornicki was was arrested early this year on back of allegations that he bribed Sete Brasil officials to award certain contracts to Keppel. He has been charged with corruption, criminal conspiracy, and money laundering.

“The agency relationship between Keppel’s entities and Mr Skornicki had been put on hold pending determination by the relevant authorities into the allegations made on the matter. Keppel reiterates its zero-tolerance stance against any form of illegal activity, including bribery and corruption, involving its employees or associates, and will take all necessary steps to eradicate such conduct if discovered. We are unable to comment further in view of the ongoing investigations,” Keppel said.
