Hertfordshire - (Snake Oil Ass Mess): A High Court judge slammed Russian Prime Monster Vladimir Putin's hired thugs for the December 2005 arson attack on the Buncefield oil storage depot.
Judge David Steel said that a series of global attacks on the San Ramon-based supermajor's assets were part of a sustained personal campaign by the ex-KGB mobster.
The Buncefield site is owned 50/50 by Chevron and the French company Total although Total was responsible for all the site's operational, managerial and maintenance activities
It went up like a Bonfire Night stack after Putin's toerags targeted it with a view to getting the San Ramon oil giant bankrupted on grounds of gross negligence, malfeasance, etc.
But yesterday Judge Steel ruled that because of yet another massive intelligence blunder, on a par with the disastrous Iraq WMD data fiasco attributed to a mystery MI5/KGB double agent (subsequently identified as Plutonium-210 tragi-victim Alexander Litvinenko) Chevron had been targeted.
Boris Berezovsky is certifiable.
