    The action in Oman against Oil companies is going to reach Shell Employees soon.

    PDO Managing Director Raoul Restucci attributed corruption to a few bad apples. That is unfortunately an understatement which will come back to haunt him. The corruption in Shell run PDO is extensive and systematic.

    As it is Raoul Restucci has done nothing significant to address the problem, but since Oman State Auditor are extensively investigating further Crimes within PDO/Shell premises, be sure many more scandals will be exposed.
