“We are pleased that this claim has been withdrawn. It brings to an end to all legal cases against Shell on OPL 245 in Italian courts,” a Shell spokesperson said in a statement.
In 2021, an Italian court acquitted Shell, Eni (ENI.MI), the operator of the OPL 245 oilfield, and company executives of corruption allegations in the acquisition of the field a decade earlier.
Eni (ENI.MI) confirmed Nigeria had withdrawn the claim on Thursday.
