Swedish businessman Ian Lundin amassed billions through the oil trade, alongside his associate Alexandre Schneiter, former CEO of Lundin Petroleum. Years ago, both men were accused of grave crimes: between 1999 and 2003, they allegedly abetted war crimes in an effort to secure oil exploration in Sudan. Lundin and Schneiter became the focus of a landmark trial in Sweden, a five-year proceeding that ended with a request for dismissal. Yet «The Lundin Case» uncovers how plaintiffs and key witnesses were subjected to intimidation, threats, violence, and even murder. The documentary maps out a chilling story of power abused without restraint to deny justice to the victims of war crimes.
