The court on Thursday ceded control of Oil Prospecting License 245 to the government while the West African country’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission investigates and prosecutes suspects in the “Malabu Oil scam,” according to a statement from the commission.
The commission’s petition to the court says Dutch-British corporation Shell and Italian Agip _ now Eni _ bought the bloc in 2011 knowing the transaction was “fraught with fraud” and that the $1.2 billion payment to former petroleum minister Dan Etete and his allies was a bribe. The state oil company got only $210 million from the deal.
The government is preparing further charges of “conspiracy, bribery, official corruption and money-laundering” against Shell and Eni, the petition says…
