NGOs and activists are today disappointed and outraged as Shell and Eni - two of the worlds biggest polluters - were found not guilty of corruption relating to the purchase of a Nigerian oilfield, in a Milan trial. Global Witness urges the prosecution to consider all options to appeal this verdict and continues to follow ongoing criminal investigations into the case in Nigeria and the Netherlands.
Barnaby Pace, Senior Campaigner at Global Witness, said:
“Today s legal verdict is a disappointment but it will not stop us in our unrelenting quest to ensure accountability in the fossil fuel industry.
“We urge the Milan prosecutor’s office to consider all options for an appeal. We await the details of how the judges reached this ruling, but believe that this verdict shows just how hard it is to hold the fossil fuel industry to account.
