On 13 March 2009, the FT published an article about Simon Henry, who was about to become Chief Financial Officer of Royal Dutch Shell Plc. It said that he had survived the Shell reserves misreporting scandal with his reputation intact. On the basis of irrefutable Shell internal evidence, we take issue with that conclusion.
We have today published evidence confirming his starring role in the scandal. It includes an email sent directly to Mr Henry by the then Chief Executive of Shell Exploration & Production, Mr Walter van de Vijver. The content removes any doubt that Simon Henry knew two years before the scandal broke that Shell had booked reserves it should not have booked.
If Mr Henry survived with his reputation unblemished until our intervention, it was because the evidence of his key role in covering-up the true state of Shell’s reserves position in his dealings with analysts and investors had not been assembled and put into the public domain, until today.
HERE IS THE ARTICLE AND THE EVIDENCE
