An Italian oil company operating in Nigeria, Eni, has been found to have ‘diverted’ 200 million USD into Italy, according to Italian sources. According to Italian authorities the diversion is connected to the 2011 Malabu oil scandal involving Shell, Eni, and the Nigerian government.
It would be recalled that OPL 245, one of the richest oil blocs in Africa, was awarded to Malabu Oil and Gas Ltd. in 1998 by former Minister of Petroleum Dan Etete from the Sani Abacha administration. The deal was authorized by former Attorney General Mohammed Adoke and former Minister for Petroleum Resources Diezani Alison-Madueke. The two have been investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) but have been on the run.
A Milan prosecutor yesterday interrogated a former Eni executive, Vincenzo Armanna, who was involved in the deal. The prosecutor traced 971,000 Euros in one of his bank accounts related to the Nigerian oil bloc OPL 245 on May 8, 2012.
In 2011, Eni and Shell paid $1.3b to the Nigerian government to acquire OPL 245, but it was discovered that the money was in fact paid to Malabu. The money was first deposited into Nigeria’s accounts with JP Morgan Chase before being discreetly transferred to Malabu accounts.
Several other officials under the Goodluck Jonathan administration, including Mr. Jonathan himself, were discovered to be involved in the scandal, according to investigations.
In an article about the interrogation of Mr. Armanna published by the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Shell was implicated along with Eni in financial crimes that were committed “between August 2011 and 2014.”
The article also referred to about 483 million USD traced in Nigeria going to companies close to Abubakar Aliyu, chairman of AA Oil Limited.

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.
