Marubeni Corp., a Japanese trading company, agreed to pay the US Justice Department $54.6 million to resolve charges related to a decade-long scheme to bribe Nigerian government officials in connection with the so-called Bonny Island project for contracts.

The companies that make up TSKJ have all settled FCPA cases with U.S. authorities. Halliburton, along with its former subsidiary KBR, was the first to settle in February 2009, when it agreed to pay $579 million. Technip agreed to pay $338 million in late June 2010, and 10 days later Snamprogetti — formerly a unit of Eni SpA and later a unit of Saipem SpA — agreed to pay $365 million. JGC agreed to pay $218.8 million.

Tesler pleaded guilty in March 2011 to two counts of violating the FCPA and agreed to forfeit nearly $149 million. Wojeich Chodan, Tesler’s partner, pleaded guilty in December 2010 and agreed to forfeit nearly $727,000. KBR CEO Albert “Jack” Stanley pleaded guilty in September 2008 to conspiring to violate the FCPA.

“As a result of this extensive investigation, the department and our partners have obtained more than $1.7 billion in penalties and forfeiture orders from the joint venture partners, their agents and individuals who sought illegally to obtain the Bonny Island contracts,” Raman said in the statement.
