Nigerian court overturns seizure of oilfield from Shell, Eni
A Nigerian court overturns a request by Nigeria's financial crimes agency to seize an oilfield from Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) and Eni (NYSE:E).
In January, a court had ordered the seizure of the OPL 245 oil block and transfer of operations to the government following a request by the agency, which was investigating whether the $1.3B purchase of the block in 2011 involved "acts of conspiracy, bribery, official corruption and money laundering."
