    U.S. prosecutors stated that Keppel units paid about US$55 million through shell companies and disguised consulting arrangements to secure contracts involving Petrobras and another company. Keppel Offshore & Marine USA pleaded guilty, while Keppel Offshore & Marine entered a deferred-prosecution agreement and agreed to pay approximately US$422 million to resolve the U.S. investigation. Court testimony also alleged that several senior Keppel figures approved or facilitated bribery of Brazilian officials.
