Petrofac is currently under investigation by the SFO regarding allocations of bribery. Specifically, the SFO announced in May that it would investigate allegations that the firm used scandal-hit Unaoil as a middleman to secure consultancy contracts worth an estimated $2bn. Chief executive Ayman Asfari and chief operating officer Marwan Chedid have been questioned as part of the ongoing probe, and Mr Chedid has since been suspended.
