TechnipFMC, a global oil & gas services provider, pleaded guilty to violating the FCPA and will pay almost $300 Million to settle bribery charges.

Technip bribed officials in #Brazil and FMC bribed Iraqi officials, among other things.

#Petrobras #ButNothingsHappening
Former Technip consultant Zwi Skornicki also pleaded guilty for his role in bribing Brazil officials.

Skornicki also worked as a consultant for Keppel Offshore & Marine (KOM). Both Technip and KOM paid more than $69 million in corrupt payments to Skornicki associated companies.
Skornicki then used some of those payments to bribe officials at #Petrobras, Brazil's state-owned oil company.
Technip also made over $5 Million in corrupt payments to the Worker's Party in Brazil and to officials of this party.

The "Worker's Party" in Brazil is a far-left wing "democratic socialist" party. Gee, where have we heard that before?
Former Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Worker's Party is currently in prison serving time for corruption related to Brazil's YUGE #CarWash corruption scandal.
Lula da Silva was also praised and touted by former President #Obama as "the most popular politician on earth."

FCM paid bribes to at least 7 Iraq government officials from 2008 to 2013 including to the Ministry of Oil and various other oil companies. They used an intermediary based in Monaco to get those contracts in Iraq.
As part of TechnipFMC's guilty plea and deferred prosecution, they have agreed to FULLY cooperate in the DOJ's ongoing investigation. And it is a BIG investigation.
