MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Vitol, the world’s largest independent oil trader, offered to pay Mexican national oil firm Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) $17 million in damages after Vitol admitted to paying bribes in Mexico, Pemex Chief Executive Octavio Romero said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the same news conference as Romero, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador later said the total sum that Vitol would compensate would amount to about $30 million.
