I have evidence that Royal Dutch Shell had direct business dealings with the now disgraced Chinese leader Bo Xilai at the heart of the scandal.

Printed below is a self-explanatory email I sent earlier today to Mr. Michiel Brandjes, Company Secretary & General Counsel Corporate, Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
Since there has been no response, I have published the email at 3pm UK time.
I would like readers to be aware that Shell has on many previous occasions taken up our invitation to provide a comment to be published with an article.
Furthermore, we have previously agreed not to publish an article at the request of Mr Brandjes.
