LONDON (Thomson Financial) – Anti-corruption investigators are probing payments by ChevronTexaco and Royal Dutch Shell to a company owned by a former Nigerian politician they suspect to be involved in money laundering activities, the Financial Times on Saturday reported, quoting Nuhu Ribadu, chief of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The politician is being investigated by British and Nigerian authorities over sums he is alleged to have accumulated during his years in office, it said.
Ribadu told the FT he was ‘investigating huge payments made by Shell and Chevron’ to a company owned by the politician.
Chevron said it had complied with anti-corruption laws, reported the FT, while Shell said the company linked to the politician was on its register of approved contractors. It declined to elaborate on the amount and type of work done by the company, the newspaper said.

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.
