]]> A court in Milan is considering charges against oil multinationals Eni and Shell for allegedly defrauding Nigeria of $6-billion in petroleum revenue.
The oil companies say they’re innocent in what could become one of the biggest corruption cases in history

Global Witness reckons the amount stolen would pay for   twice the Nigerian giant’s annual education and health care budget.
