MILAN (Reuters) – An appeals court in Milan on Friday rejected Nigeria’s compensation request against Italian energy group Eni in civil proceedings relating to a $1.3 billion Nigerian oilfield deal.
The decision was read out in court.
In July, prosecutors had dropped related criminal proceedings, clearing Eni and Shell, as well as managers including Eni Chief Executive Claudio Descalzi.
