Brazilian court accepts Sembmarine's complaint against EJA's former president

This follows after charges of money laundering were filed to Martin Cheah Kok Choon and Guilherme Esteves de Jesus.

Sembcorp Marine (SCM) has announced that the Federal Justice Court of Curitiba in Brazil has accepted the complaint offered by the prosecutor’s office in Paraná against Guilherme Esteves de Jesus (GDJ) for money laundering and the ex-employee Martin Cheah Kok Choon for money laundering, an SGX filing revealed.

This follows after the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) charged Cheah, the ex-president of SCM’s Brazil unit Estaleiro Jurong Aracruz (EJA), with money laundering and corruption. 

GDJ was also charged as he is connected to companies whom the firm’s subsidiaries have engaged with as consultants in Brazil, in connection with certain drilling rig construction contracts entered into by subsidiaries of SCM with Sete Brasil in 2012.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
