Twelve men have been charged for accepting bribes as part of the massive theft of gasoil from Shell’s largest refinery in Singapore.

They are all employees of surveying companies engaged by Shell to inspect the volume of oil loaded onto vessels supplied by the energy major.

Between 2014 and 2017, the 12 allegedly accepted bribes totalling at least $213,000, the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) said in a statement.
