Shell corruption scandal that won’t go away

Although numerous people including at Shell and the Garda have been named on this website in connection with the Corrib gas corruption scandal, still no defamation proceedings have been issued against me or OSSL?

Many companies within the Royal Dutch Shell Group have issued defamation proceedings for alleged defamation in articles published on this website, but not even the hint of any such action on this occasion. It is not as if Shell is short of lawyers. It has an in-house army currently being reshuffled by Peter Rees QC. Michael Coates has been appointed as Shell’s new head of legal in the UK. Hans von der Linde is general counsel for Shell’s global downstream business, and currently leads a team of 300 people based in 40 countries.

Perhaps Shell lawyers are much more cautious now after getting their sleazy fingers burned on the previous defamation fiasco, involving multiple injunctions and the involvement of Shell lawyers in multiple countries. All relevant Royal Dutch Shell plaintiff companies wisely decided to withdraw after my father and I made witness statements that made fools of Shell lawyers and totally undermined the draconian litigation lasting several years, that must have cost Shell shareholders a fortune. 

Basically the offending articles said that Shell is an evil, dishonest and hypocritical outfit, that falsely claims to operate within a strict ethical code. Shell decided it did not want to contest these published statements of fact. Too much “internal laundry” to face us in open court.

Today I have published the latest emails received from OSSL.

To: “[email protected]” <[email protected]>, Michael Crothers <[email protected]>, BRIAN FOLEY <[email protected]>, John Shell News <[email protected]>, Michiel Brandjes <[email protected]>, “[email protected]” <[email protected]>, [email protected]

Jim ,

Roadbridge attended a Shell Meeting …….at which Roadbridge was ordered by Shell to immediately pay a invoice falsified by Shell ,in order to hide the true content of the  costs incurred for covert gifting ,in order to progress the project ………there were very many more of this type of invoice originated by Shell.

Why the need to disguise this gifting ….including to the Garda ?

Unethical ? Illegal ?
