"As a result, between February 2012 and June 2014, the CWT employees were dishonestly induced to award freight jobs amounting to approximately S$635,000 to ETW, which they would not have done so if they had not been deceived," said CPIB.

In addition, Teo was charged with one count of deceiving CWT with an email from ETW Logistics which contained a false statement "intended to mislead CWT", according to the press release.
