For five years Swedish prosecutors investigated allegations against Lundin Oil’s operations in southern Sudan, where the company was engaged in 1997 to 2003. Among other things, human rights organizations accused the company of having exacerbated the conflict with their presence.
In an interview in Dagens Nyheter gives the brothers Ian and Lukas Lundin his view of the events in Sudan. Ian Lundin believes that the current conflict in South Sudan is linked to the past.
– It is today in the Middle East, there is no one who can say that they really understand what is happening. It’s the same as when we were there, he said.
Magnus Elving on the International Public Prosecution Office in Stockholm does not point out any suspicious companies or individuals, but has not denied information in the media that Lundin Oil is included in the investigation. Nearly 100 people have been heard, but not the main suspects. Magnus Elving says to DN that if there is a decision on the prosecution it will be probably next year.
– In a way it is good that we finally get a chance to say what really happened. I’m just waiting on me to speak to them about it, says Ian Lundin about the investigation.
