Lundin Energy (now Orrön Energy) trial

Two former Lundin Energy (now Orrön Energy) executives have been charged for complicity in war crimes in Sudan between 1999 and 2003. The long-anticipated trial starts on 5 September 2023 in Stockholm.

Summary

On 11 November 2021, the Swedish public prosecutor, formally charged the chief executive of Lundin Energy (formerly Lundin Petroleum, now Orrön Energy) and the chairman of the Board for aiding and abetting war crimes that occurred between 1999 and 2003 in Sudan, now South Sudan.
