BP's former eastern reginoal director for marine fuels,
Clarence Chang Peng Hong, has been given a jail sentence for corruption by a
Singapore court.
Pacific Prime Trading (PPT), whose executive director,
Koh Seng Lee, was also jailed. The defendants were found guilty of corruption last year following a lengthy trial, according to local news provider the Straits Times.
PPT was set up by the two former executives as a vehicle for advancing their interests with the oil major.
Chang took nearly
$4 million in bribes from Koh over a period of four years up to 2010. Both defendants have filed appeals against their convictions, the report said.
