Full Description
In daring detail, 'OPL
245: The inside story of the $1.3bn Nigerian oil block' tells the uncensored
story of the billion-dollar deal between Shell plc, Eni S.p.A. and Malabu Oil
& Gas Ltd of Nigeria that went awry.
The deal attracted
global attention over allegations of fraud and bribery and was investigated by
American, British, Dutch and Italian authorities. But as the world watched what
was touted by UK-based campaigners as "the biggest corporate scandal trial in
history", every piece started falling apart, with an Italian Court concluding
that there was no fraud. A UK court ruled likewise in a civil case. This is a
story of dirty intrigue, high-wire politics, vendetta and Machiavellian
tactics.
