"OMV AG executives accused of complicity in war crimes," 07 May 2024

The Austrian Centre for the Enforcement of Human Rights International (CEHRI) and the Dutch peace movement PAX have submitted... a criminal complaint against former senior executives of OMV AG for aiding and abetting war crimes. They are requesting the Austrian prosecution to open a criminal investigation... OMV was a business partner of the Swedish company Lundin in Sudan.

[They] claim that the management of OMV contributed to the Consortium’s criminal conduct in Sudan...  

OMV AG was allegedly aware that grave abuses were committed by the Government of Sudan to secure the operations of the Consortium that it participated in.

OMV denies any wrongdoings and points out that Lundin, not OMV, managed the day-to-day operations in Sudan.
