Aberdeen firm's corrupt deal in Kazakhstan
A North East company's been ordered to hand over the profits of a deal it secured through bribery.
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.
The new bosses immediately went to the authorities. More than £170 thousand has been recovered through the Proceeds of Crime Act.
But more details about the corruption haven't been revealed, in case there are more criminal investigations.
