On May 12, 2017, the Serious Fraud Office ("SFO") confirmed it is investigating the activities of Petrofac PLC, its subsidiaries, and their officers, employees and agents for suspected bribery, corruption and money laundering.  This news drove the price of Petrofac securities significantly down.

On May 25, 2017, Petrofac announced the SFO had arrested and questioned CEO and COO.  Both were released without charge.  In addition, the Company's board suspended the COO and precluded the CEO from involvement in any matters connected to the SFO investigation. This news drove the price of Petrofac securities significantly down.

"We're focused on the facts unearthed by the SFO and others related to the Company's activities with Monaco-based Unaoil," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
