We call upon the #French judiciary to lay charges against TOTAL in the corruption case around the #Yemeni LNG sale agreement similarly to the investigation in 2002 into TOTAL's involvement in the Oil for Food program which was marred by corruption and embezzlement.
We also invite the anti-corruption French organizations to go after TOTAL in the case of the Yemeni LNG agreement because what happened in Yemen is much worse than Iraq's "Oil for Food". Here, it is more of a robbery of the entire reserves of Yemeni gas through TOTAL and its partners as it allowed itself to market the Yemeni gas at less than 10% of its international value with Yemen only getting 21% of the already low revenues and TOTAL and its partners enjoying the lion share.
Starting from 1996, and following a series of violations and evasion, TOTAL became the agent that marketed Yemen's LNG to itself on the basis of unfair agreements designed through the payment of commissions, bribes and committing corruption according to the latest statement by an official source a couple of days ago.
TOTAL concluded the LNG sale contracts so that it would become the "seller" and "buyer" together showing a blatant "conflict of interests" that only TOTAL can do, ignoring all the applicable principles internationally and turning Yemeni LNG into an exclusive right to TOTAL and what does Yemen get? environmental pollution..only!
What the International anti-corruption organizations already know is that those millions paid in commission to public officials and powerful people bring "pennies" to the people in revenue for their stolen wealth. They shall bear in mind that the wealth of free living nations is poisonous and what goes around, comes around.
Before that, we demand the President and the transitional government to invalidate this unfair corrupt agreement and to take the matter to the local courts against national power centers, and to prosecute the international parties involved in international courts as per the UN Convention Against Corruption.
In a nutshell, revoking the LNG agreements and prosecuting those involved in corruption is the only right measure that may return the rights and certainly not begging for price adjustments. | |
