A COURT in Brazil has accepted charges filed against two men formerly linked to Sembcorp Marine's (Sembmarine) wholly-owned Brazilian subsidiary, the mainboard-listed firm said on Thursday.

The Federal Justice Court of Curitiba accepted the complaint offered by the Federal Public Ministry in Parana against Guilherme Esteves de Jesus for money laundering, and against Martin Cheah Kok Choon for money laundering and corruption in connection with certain drilling rig construction contracts entered into by subsidiaries of Sembmarine with Sete Brasil in 2012.
