SANTO DOMINGO. – A report of the Shell oil firm on the denunciations of altered fuel purchase invoices in the Dominican Petroleum Refinery (Refidomsa) found “the control structure is inadequate for such an important task” and admits there were cases “the freight was influenced” in addition to “deficiencies of the process.”
The report, which the newspaper Listin Diario quotes today, and which had been kept secret, was rendered by Shell’s representative in the Dominican Republic Rafael Maradiaga on March 19 and notes that “the errors or faults (detected in the invoicing) are not systemic.”
Maradiaga’s report was sent to Rubén Montás, president of Refidomsa, in response to the report rendered by a group of the members of the Refinery’s governing board, which investigated the denunciation.
It also says prices in the spot purchase, that normally include the freight, though it doesn’t explain why it was demanded that the cost of the transport be segregated in the shipments, as the report of the commission of the Government’s representatives in Refidomsa alleged.
Maradiaga said it was decided to conduct an investigation after the Government’s representatives in Refidomsa revealed the irregularities.
He said Shell asked to conduct its own investigation, for which it designated a team that included investigators of “ethics and compliance of Shell, internal auditors of Shell and representatives of Shell’s manufacture department.”
The report notes that the “general manager (of Refidomsa) approves the purchases” although “though does not become involved in the negotiation of the contract.”
Shell’s investigators concluded that “Refidomsa incorrectly handled the information of cost of freight in 3 occasions related to fuel oil imports.” It said in one of the cases where it was verified that the price of the load was not handled and which “was not in isolated case, instead was either a practice that extends to the variety of products that Refidomsa buys.”

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.
