LONDON (Reuters) -Four ex-Glencore oil traders on Monday pleaded not guilty in a London court to bribery charges ahead of their trial in 2027.

Paul Hopkirk, Ramon Labiaga, David Perez and Martin Wakefield pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiring to give corrupt payments relating to Glencore's operations in Nigeria, Cameroon or Ivory Coast.

Perez and Wakefield denied a further charge of conspiracy to falsify documents between 2007 and 2011.

Their trial is due to begin in 2027 and take up to six months.
