Oct. 5 (Bloomberg) — Russian Natural Resource Ministry official Oleg Mitvol met with the Prosecutor General’s Office as they investigate Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s Sakhalin-2 contractors for illegal felling of trees to build oil and gas pipelines.
Mitvol gave the prosecutors evidence that Starstroi, a unit of Eni SpA, violated environmental laws by felling trees without permits and destroying the topsoil along the route of pipelines they’re building for the Shell project in Russia’s Far East, the ministry in Moscow said in an e-mailed statement today.
The contractor could get a warning or face criminal charges, the ministry said.
The oil and gas pipelines are key to Shell’s plan to export fuel all year round from the project, including natural gas cooled to a liquefied state for shipment by tanker to Asian consumers. Shell has contracted to sell most of its LNG output when production starts in 2008.
Sakhalin-2 is completely foreign-owned, with Shell holding 55 percent, Mitsui Co. 25 percent and Mitsubishi Co. 20 percent.
Mitvol is the deputy head of the Natural Resources Ministry’s environmental inspectorate.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
