SFO brings new charges in Unaoil investigation
A former vice president of SBM Offshore already charged with hiring Unaoil to pay bribes on behalf of SBM was hit with a new charge Thursday of helping another contractor hire Unaoil to pay bribes in Iraq.
Stephen Whiteley was charged Thursday in London with conspiracy to make corrupt payments.
The SFO said Whiteley, 63, was a vice president of Netherlands-based SBM Offshore and also worked for Unaoil as its General Territories Manager for Iraq, Kazakhstan, and Angola.
He lives in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The SFO said in 2009 and 2010 Whiteley “assisted Unaoil Limited to be engaged as a subcontractor to Leighton Contractors Singapore PTE Ltd for an oil pipeline project in Iraq.”
