Swedish court to rule in December on oil execs accused in Sudan war crimes case

A Stockholm court concluded hearings in the trial of two former oil executives accused of complicity in war crimes related to Lundin Oil's operations in Sudan between 1998 and 2002, with a ruling expected in December. Prosecutors allege the executives facilitated Sudanese military operations, including aerial bombings and village burnings, to secure an oil exploration field, while the defendants deny any relationship between the company and the military's actions.
