On trial: oil and war crimes

About this episode

The episode discusses the trial of Lundin Oil executives accused of complicity in war crimes in Sudan.

Senior executives of Swedish firm Lundin Oil stand accused of complicity in war crimes. The case against them took more than a decade to come to trial, and the trial was the longest in Swedish history. If they are found guilty it could change how the rich and powerful operate around the world, but will it deliver justice for the Sudanese victims of war?
