An Aberdeen firm's been ordered to hand over the profits from a corrupt oil deal. International Tubular Services paid a bribe for the contract in Kazakhstan - it was uncovered when the company was bought over last year.

But more details about the corruption haven't been revealed, in case there are more criminal investigations.
