London - Rolls-Royce has not been approached by authorities in Brazil regarding bribery allegations made by a former Petrobras manager in a corruption scandal engulfing the state oil company, the British engineering company said on Monday.
The company, a supplier of gas turbines for oil platforms, was named by the former executive of Brazilian state oil company Petrobras in a plea bargain statement as having paid bribes on a contract worth $100m.
In his plea statement to prosecutors, former manager Pedro Barusco said the treasurer of Brazil's ruling Workers' Party received between $150m to $200m from kickbacks on 90 contracts with Petrobras from 2003 to 2013.
