Top petrol chiefs held talks once a year: The whistleblower claimed the office was swept for bugs before the talks, lasting nearly two hours. He added: “The security around their meetings was incredible. There was lock-down. The whole floor was a no-go area for anyone else. “It was just the two of them — the bosses of two huge rival companies — no PAs, no deputies. “It’s common knowledge they were talking about oil prices.”

The ex-boss of Shell held top-secret meetings with the BP chief, an insider claimed last night.
Jeroen van der Veer entertained John Browne strictly ALONE at his London HQ once a year, a former Shell worker said.
The whistleblower claimed the office was swept for bugs before the talks, lasting nearly two hours.
The firms face claims of ‘price fixing’.
He added: “The security around their meetings was incredible. There was lock-down. The whole floor was a no-go area for anyone else.
“It was just the two of them — the bosses of two huge rival companies — no PAs, no deputies.
“It’s common knowledge they were talking about oil prices.”
Offices of both companies were raided this week in a probe over price fixing allegations going back a decade.
It is feared it could have cost Britain’s 31million drivers up to £10,000 each.
Mr van der Veer was head of Shell from 2004 to 2009.
Lord Browne, BP boss from 1995 to 2008, last night admitted meeting other oil firm chiefs.
But he denied any talks “that could possibly be seen as somehow fixing the price of oil”.

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.
