"Swedish Trial Begins for Oil Executives Charged with Sudan War Crimes"

Two executives of a Swedish oil company, Lundin Oil, are on trial in Stockholm for allegedly supporting war crimes committed by the Sudanese government in the 1990s. Prosecutors claim that the executives facilitated the company's operations in Sudan by cooperating with the regime of former dictator Omar al-Bashir. The trial is expected to last until early 2026, and the executives face potential penalties including a 10-year ban on conducting business activities and a fine of 3 million kronor ($272,250). The prosecution also seeks the confiscation of 1.4 billion kronor ($127 million) from Lundin Oil.
