VERBATIM: Swedish prosecutors claim that former Lundin Oil chairman Ian Lundin and the company’s former CEO, Alex Schneiter supported the Sudanese government of former dictator Omar al-Bashir. Swedish prosecutors accuse the two executives of creating “the necessary conditions for the subsidiary’s operations. They argue the defendants were conducting warfare in a way that entailed the Sudanese military and regime-allied militia systematically attacking civilians or at least carrying out systematic attacks.”..JH reporting.
