Silver Law Group Investigating Golar LNG Limited (GLNG)

Silver Law Group is investigating Golar LNG Limited (GLNG) (“Golar” or the “Company”) for potential violations of the federal securities laws. On September 24, 2020, media outlets reported that Eduardo Navarro Antonello, Chief Executive Officer of Golar’s joint-venture subsidiary Hygo Energy Transition Ltd., had been implicated in a bribery network investigated in connection with the ongoing Brazilian criminal investigation Operation Car Wash. On this news, Golar’s stock price fell $3.28 per share, or approximately 32%, to close at $6.86 per share on September 24, 2020.  As the world focuses on cleaner forms of energy, Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) has become a frontrunner. As of 2019, the US is the third-largest importer of LNG. This growing interest means that LNG’s increased value is another avenue for investors.Silver Law Group is investigating Golar LNG Limited (GLNG) (“Golar” or the “Company”) for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

Hygo And Operation Car Wash

Just days after the IPO, multiple media reports indicated that Hygo’s CEO Eduardo Navarro Antonello was connected to a bribery network being investigated in Brazil as part art of their long-running criminal investigation into money laundering and corruption known as “Operation Car Wash.”

The media reported that a company called Sapura Energy was interested in winning a contract with Petrobras worth $2.7 billion. The company allegedly hired lobbyist Maricio Carvalho to locate and obtain inside information to use in its proposal to Petrobras. Once he obtained this information, Carvalho allegedly gave it to Antonello, the defendant. Golar LNG then announced that Hygo was initiating a review of the allegations levied against Antonello.

Upon this announcement, company shares dropped by more than 32%, damaging investors. The shares closed at $6.86 on September 24, 2020.
