Second ex-Shell employee admits to offences linked to stolen

SINGAPORE - A second former Shell Eastern Petroleum employee linked to a case involving more than 300,000 tonnes of stolen gas oil worth over $200 million - the largest ever in Singapore - admitted to his role in the offences on Wednesday (Jan 6).
Former authorised gas safety tester Muhammad Ashraf Hamzah worked with his then colleagues to misappropriate 55,321 tonnes of gas oil worth nearly US$25 million (S$33 million) between 2014 and 2016. He has made no restitution to Shell.
Ashraf received at least $700,000 in ill-gotten gains through his participation in the conspiracy.
The 39-year-old Singaporean pleaded guilty in a district court on Wednesday to nine counts of criminal breach of trust involving gas oil worth more than US$18 million.
