A Stockholm court has wrapped up hearings in the trial of two former oil executives accused of complicity in war crimes linked to Sudan's second civil war, with a verdict expected in late December. Ian Lundin, former chief executive of Lundin Oil (now Orron Energy), and Swiss national Alex Schneiter, the firm's former vice president, are accused of requesting that the Sudanese government deploy its military to secure an oil exploration field in what is now South Sudan, leading to aerial bombardments, civilian killings, and the burning of villages. The case, the longest trial in Swedish history, opened in September 2023 following over a decade of investigations; prosecutors are seeking ten years in prison for Lundin and six for Schneiter, while both men deny any improper relationship with the Sudanese government.
