3:28:39 PMTony Chinonso

The most senior managers at oil giant Eni appear to have misled shareholders over the company's actions in a corrupt oil deal at its 2014 AGM. This is very important - as they gather for the 2015 meeting, shareholders in Italy's biggest company should expect straight answers over a deal which poses real risks to their investments. The corruption at the heart of the deal deprived the Nigerian state of over U.S. $1.1 billion, has triggered investigations by authorities in three countries, and could ultimately lead to the Eni and its partner Shell losing access to the oil block.
