Global Witness
Since 2011, we have investigated and exposed oil giants Shell and Eni's role in the scandalous ‘Malabu’ deal for a Nigerian oil block: OPL 245.
Global Witness has exposed strong evidence of high-level corruption relating to four of Italian oil giant Eni’s licences in Republic of Congo.
Shell and Eni are on trial in Milan for their part in a billion dollar bribery scheme.
Last week, Prime Minister Renzi of Italy said that reporting about a major case of alleged corruption should not be allowed to endanger jobs or economic policies.

Explanations made by Shell and ENI about payments made for a controversial oil deal in Nigeria are no longer sufficient and they must immediately come clean with more information about the deal, said Global Witness today. The call comes in response to a statement made by the Nigerian government which contradicts those made by Shell and ENI.
We were present at the opening of one of the largest corporate bribery trials in history. Lawyers for Shell, Eni and their executives appeared in court for a deal that robbed at least $1.1 billion from the Nigerian people.
The most senior managers at oil giant Eni appear to have misled shareholders over the company’s actions in a corrupt oil deal at the company’s 2014 AGM.
Last week was a bad week for the Italian oil giant Eni. Within hours of news breaking that its newly-appointed CEO, Claudio Descalzi along with the company, are under formal investigation for corruption relating to a Nigerian oil deal the share price plummeted.
