Petrofac Ltd (LON:PFC) told the market that it continues to engage with the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) in relation to an investigation launched last year.
The oil services firm noted that the investigation - into suspected bribery, corruption, and/or money laundering - is wide ranging in time and scope, and relates to the activities of the company, its subsidiaries and officers.

It added that the company’s engagement with the SFO has involved the interview of company directors including the chairman and executive directors either under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act or under caution.
Petrofac said it expects further interviews to take place, and added that it will continue to provide relevant documents to the SFO.
“No further comment will be made on the basis that this may prejudice an ongoing investigation. We also do not anticipate providing further updates on this matter,” Petrofac said in a statement.
