SHELL CORRIB GAS PROJECT SCANDAL: THE FAKE INVOICE?

By John Donovan

The article published on Sunday in The Observer has created a firestorm of interest in Ireland with hundreds of comments posted on online discussion forums.

Many contributors make a very good point saying that the OSSL invoice posted on this website is fake. They raise legitimate concerns about its authenticity, about the VAT number and the content of the email, which looks like it has been drafted to embarrass Shell.

There is a simple answer. Call in the Garda to investigate? Why has this not already been done? Perhaps we already know the answer.

REPRESENTATIVES OF SHELL to Sea have called for an independent inquiry into allegations by a company that it distributed alcohol to gardaí while working on behalf of Shell in Co Mayo.

In an article in The Observer yesterday, Glasgow based company OSSL, which procured materials and services for Shell, claimed it was tasked with providing “a tennis court, cookers, television sets, agricultural equipment, school fees, home improvements, garden centre visits, forestry equipment” for local residents on behalf of Shell, to keep them on side. read more

SHELL GARDA CORRUPTION SCANDAL EXPLODES IN MAINSTREAM PRESS

Screen Shot 2013-03-05 at 15.42.20So here we have an incredible situation in which a small company publicly and repeatedly admits that it engaged in large-scale long term bribery of the Irish Police on the express instruction of its masters, Shell EP Ireland. It admits that related invoices were falsified on the instruction of Shell to hide what was going on. It admits that the free booze used to bribe the police was brought across the border in a clandestine operation. Yet nearly a year after we first published these admissions, there is no criminal investigation of OSSL?

Almost a year after we first broke news of the OSSL allegations against Shell, claiming it had been used by Shell EP Ireland to corrupt the Irish police (the Garda), the story has now exploded in the UK and Irish mainstream press. The Observer published a full page article yesterday and the main Irish newspapers have covered the story this morning. There are now calls for an International Independent Inquiry.

Shell and the Garda have attempted to hide behind a smokescreen device claiming initial internal investigations found no evidence. Because of the continued pressure that this website applied in a variety of ways, including regularly publishing evidence and articles, contacting Alan Shatter, the Irish Justice Minister, and every member of the Irish Parliament etc, both Shell and the Garda have launched further investigations. In the case of Shell, after the personal intervention in May by Royal Dutch Shell CEO, Peter Voser, when he was cornered at the Shell AGM.
