No, we are not necessarily talking about the sudden departure announced this week of Shell EP boss, Malcolm Brinded, but his immediate predecessor, Walter van de Vijver.
In a press statement issued by Shell on 3rd March 2004, following shareholder outcry over the reserves fraud, Shell announced:
Mr Walter van de Vijver has stepped down from the Board of Management of Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and as a Group Managing Director, by mutual consent. Mr van de Vijverâs duties as Chief Executive of Shells Exploration and Production business will be assumed by Mr Brinded
We can now read in a court deposition given under oath, the dramatic and emotional account by van de Vijver himself of how he was brutally pressurised into resigning by his colleagues, including Jeroen van der Veer. A masterclass in backstabbing. Accessible here
With regards to Malcolm Brinded, we now have information received from Shell insider sources and are making associated inquiries. We plan to publish more information at 3pm tomorrow, Friday. Shell and Mr Brinded are aware of our plans.

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.
