In a new twist to SNC-Lavalin Group’s bribery scandal, an oversight body in Quebec has banned several of the companies’ entities from bidding on public procurement contracts for five years.
The Autorité des marchés publics (AMP) on Wednesday named six SNC-Lavalin entities to its list of companies that are ineligible to bid on public contracts, known as RENA.
In December, a subsidiary of the Montreal engineering firm, SNC-Lavalin Construction Inc., pleaded guilty to corruption and agreed to pay a $280 million penalty to settle federal criminal charges that its executives bribed Libyan government officials nearly a decade ago in order to win lucrative contracts in the African country.
