BP chief executive Bob Dudley 'poisoned in Russian plot'

BP chief executive Bob Dudley 'poisoned in Russian plot'
30 April 2018 — 8:00am
By Robert Mendikk and Adrian Gatton
London: The chief executive of BP was poisoned in a plot believed to have been orchestrated by the Russian security services, a former employee has disclosed.

Bob Dudley, the American boss of the British oil giant, had to flee Moscow after blood test results indicated he was being poisoned slowly, the former employee claimed.

Rumours that Mr Dudley was poisoned began to circulate in 2014, six years after he left Russia in August 2008. At the time, Mr Dudley was a senior executive in BP, running a highly profitable joint venture called TNK-BP. Ilya Zaslavskiy, who worked for TNK-BP for four and a half years, has claimed that the Russian authorities wanted to oust Mr Dudley, so put in place a plan to slowly poison him.

Mr Zaslavskiy believes only the FSB, the Russian intelligence agency, had the expertise to administer a toxin slowly enough to harm Mr Dudley but stop far short of killing him.

The alleged poisoning took place two years after the murder of Alexander Litvinenko, who was exposed to radioactive polonium-210 in London, and a decade before the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal, who was targeted with nerve agent in Salisbury.

Five years after Mr Dudley left Moscow, TNK-BP was sold to the state-owned Rosneft. In return, BP, by then being run by Mr Dudley, was paid a £12 billion lump sum and given a 12.5 per cent stake in Rosneft.

Mr Dudley shook hands on the deal at a ceremony in Russia, attended by Vladimir Putin, the Russian president.Mr Zaslavskiy said: "The whole idea was to oust Bob Dudley and about 150 western managers."

Mr Zaslavskiy, who is now the head of research at the Free Russia Foundation, an anti-Putin think tank in Washington, and a fellow with the Chatham House policy institute in London, went on: "The harassment of Western staff took place on many levels. They followed people; they broke into their apartments. One was warned it wasn't safe to return to Russia.

"With Dudley and a few senior managers, they also started to open different court cases against them personally rather than just BP. That was the first hint to Dudley he should get out. But he wouldn't. He was stubborn. He thought he could run the company because he had the law on his side, so he stuck it out in Moscow.

"Finally they decided to send him a better message by poisoning his food. Obviously we could never prove who exactly poisoned him." Mr Zaslavskiy added: "I was aware of these claims but I had it confirmed in 2016 by a former colleague who was a close adviser to Dudley. He told me that the poisoning took place in the summer of 2008. They think the poison was put in Dudley's food, maybe by somebody inside the office. "They did extensive lab tests in Britain and it was confirmed that the poisoning had taken place in Russia. His blood showed signs of poisoning.


"I have now had this confirmed by a good source close to Dudley and I have no reason to doubt it. The reason BP wanted to do the tests was Dudley had felt ill. I don't know the symptoms but I do know they were sufficient for him to get very concerned. It wasn't like regular food poisoning. It wasn't just once. It was happening over weeks. Dudley left Russia secretly and quickly after the diagnosis. He left Moscow by the back door. He left early in the morning and he left abruptly. He didn't go back to the London office of BP. He went to a secret location in Europe."

Poisoned: Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia Skripal, 33.

Mr Zaslavskiy suggested that the British Government should have stood up to the Kremlin at the time of the alleged poisoning. Its failure to do so effectively encouraged Moscow to attack Sergei Skripal in Salisbury without fear of previous reprisals.

Mr Zaslavskiy added: "I blame some of this on the British Government and MI6 for not standing up to the Russians in the first place. It is astonishing what British security services allowed the Russians to get away with back then.

"The poisoning had to be done by professionals to make sure that Dudley did not die. They just wanted to give him a message. But who definitely carried out the poisoning, I don't know. I don't know the substance. My source wasn't open to talk about this."

BP has declined to comment about the allegation and refuses to say whether Mr Dudley was or was not subjected to a poison attack.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is an ex-KGB agent.

Last week, at a meeting with journalists, Mr Dudley was asked what advice he would give to young executives starting out in the oil business. His response was: "Stay away from Russia."

He added: "I know there are some friends here from Russia - so that's just a joke. I do enjoy working there. I lived there for nine years with my family."

A senior BP source said: "TNK-BP was an extremely successful business financially. It was also extremely noisy at that time. Certainly at various times life was made difficult and it was difficult to operate. But we are not going to comment whatsoever about Bob.

"Certainly pressure was put on him using regulatory means and things like that. But nobody will ever comment about these allegations of poisoning."

This whole “journalist and conservative clutching thier pearls” bullshyt will eventually backfire on them, if any of them have to answer questions about the juxtaposition between a comedian and the president. fukking cowards, is it pinch a trump supporter day yet? Let me know when we are there as a country. I want give Jordan Peterson the hands first, and then make him clean his fukking room, right after he cleans the blood out his mouth.

The news media is differentiated between the local print media and the national media. Because of the business model changing over the last decade or so, the local guys not only had to scale down their local coverage, their national/international stories are sourced from the Reuters, AP, and to a lesser extent Bloomberg.

I read the NYTimes. I am a paying member because I enjoy their politics. As a reader of the newspaper I read the articles under the auspices of 3 different readers. I read it as an islander, an African American, and as it was intended — a white, Liberal person in the Northeast.

Since the new administration was sworn in, that newspaper specifically has gone above and beyond in their whiteness while simultaneously discarding their liberal card. It literally started with the Charlie Sykes op-ed. In it Sykes washed his hands of the new administration, and wondered aloud how the polictics in the country became so “divided”. Surprisingly, all 3 readers lifted an eyebrow and chuckled at the article. Since then the Times have gone out of their way to humanize not only this disreputable President, but his legions of unrepentant morons. Those articles stopped feeling like information and started feeing like infomercials.

I have watched writers like Maggie discard their objectivity and started down the road of propaganda for the administration. So when a comedian can highlight the complicity of the press, the condemnation from said press has my eyebrows raising again.

I wonder how many channels broke into the president’s rally over the weekend as if it was original programming. Its the same routine he’s been doing for almost 3 years.

I like Michelle Wolff, her HBO special was funny, sans a few lowbrow moments. She's a former banker, so she doesn't quite have a rags to riches story, but in 2016 she was doing bits on the Daily Show, and now she's at the WHCD. I like that she went ugly and dark, they deserve no less. I don't see the downside. The right has no leg to stand on when it comes to discourse and civility.

lets get this over with

We're at the Hilton....it's not nice

We're on C Span nobody is watching this....

Should have done more research before you asked me to do this

That abortion joke was wow lol

"And then Ted Kennedy said "That's crazy I murdered a woman" :mjlol:

Chappaquiddikk in theaters now

The uproar about Sanders is laughable, she barely got touched, and nothing to do with her appearance, which considering Trump's own attacks is equally as absurd, if she had.
She killed that shyt
