Court reverses Aberdeen man's conviction in Unaoil bribery case

The Court of Appeal has reversed a conviction of Aberdeen oil executive Stephen Whiteley - the third such reversal for cases stemming from the Unaoil scandal.

A court had previously found him guilty of paying bribes of $500,000 to Iraqi officials in order to win a $55m contract for Unaoil to supply oil infrastructure.

After being found guilty in 2020, Whiteley was ordered to repay criminal gains of almost £100,000.
