On 13 July 2016, the SFO also charged logistics and freight operations company F.H. Bertling Limited and seven individuals with one count of making corrupt payments, an offence under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1906.
The SFO alleges that the individuals and the company conspired together and with others to bribe an agent of the Angolan state oil company, Sonangol, to further F.H. Bertling’s operations in Angola.
The corrupt activity was alleged to have taken place between January 2005 and December 2006, and for this reason falls under the pre-Bribery Act legislation.
