Shell Corruption Probe: New Evidence on Oil Payments

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Top executives at the oil giant Shell are being accused of striking a deal in Nigeria despite knowing their money would end up in the hands of a convicted money launderer. And, the boss of Barclays Bank is to have his bonus reduced for trying twice to identify an anonymous corporate whistleblower. We ask Laura Noonan, investment banking correspondent for the Financial Times, exactly what Mr Staley had done wrong. Meanwhile, Serbia says it won't burden the European Union and still wants to join by 2020. We talk to Vladimir Krulj, chairman of Serbia's biggest bank, Kombank. And, we discuss the growing trend of toy shops geared towards adults with John Baulch, publisher of Toyworld magazine.
