Oil Company Spooks: BP Appoints Britain’s Former Chief Spy to Board
14 MAY 2015
BP Plc, the former state-owned oil company with operations from Russia to Iraq, appointed the retired chief of Britain’s overseas spying network as a board member. John Sawers was head of the MI6 service until November 2014.
Oil company involvement with spies is nothing new.
On 17 June 2001, The Sunday Times published a front page lead story on the spying activities of Shell and BP directed against perceived enemies, including Greenpeace.
Confronted with irrefutable evidence, the spying by Hakluyt and Company, a corporate intelligence firm set up by former senior MI6 officers, was admitted by both oil giants.
Titled Shell directors were also directors and major shareholders in Hakluyt.
Shell has continued to use Hakluyt and also runs its own internal unit staffed by former spooks.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
