Gary Webster, 54, of Inverurie, Aberdeenshire, Christopher Hawdon, 65, of Guernsey, and Ronald Murray, 67, of Peckham, London, were said to have transferred tens of thousands of pounds into 64-year-old Terry Hall's wife's account.
The trio allegedly paid the money over four years to ensure BP employed deep-sea divers through OilExec, a company part owned by Hawdon and Murray's C-MAR Holdings Group. However, yesterday the jury was discharged. The Crown will announce next week whether they will pursue a retrial.
