1 Mar 2024 Gunvor SAGunvor convicted: around 86.7 million CHF over corruption in Ecuador's oil business SwitzerlandBribery of public officials €90.5m

The Geneva-based commodities trading house failed to take all reasonable organisational precautions to prevent foreign public officials from being bribed on its behalf in connection with the Ecuadorian oil industry from 2013 to 2017. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (BA) – in coordination with US authorities – ordered Gunvor to pay around 86.7 million CHF, of which 4.3 million CHF is a fine.

What organisations can take from it

Commodities traders must scrutinise payments to intermediaries in government business without gaps – the confiscation of profits far exceeds the fine.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
