Shell and Eni are waiting to learn whether a judge will accept a request from a Milan prosecutor for the two companies and individuals — including Claudio Descalzi, chief executive of the Italian energy group — to face trial for alleged corruption.
Shell acknowledged for the first time last week that it knew Malabu would be compensated for relinquishing its claim on OPL 245.
