London: The chief executive of BP was poisoned in a plot believed to have been orchestrated by the Russian security services, a former employee has disclosed.
Bob Dudley, the US head of the British oil giant, had to flee Moscow after blood test results indicated he was being poisoned slowly, the former employee claimed.
Rumours that Dudley was poisoned began to circulate in 2014, six years after he left Russia in August 2008. At the time, Dudley was a senior executive in BP, running a highly profitable joint venture called TNK-BP.
Ilya Zaslavskiy, who worked for TNK-BP for 4½ years, has claimed that the Russian authorities wanted to oust Dudley, so put in place a plan to poison him slowly.

The thing is they're all criminals and none of them cares who gets killed or hurt.
I feel the same way about all of them. Sorry. my sympathy is for us peons.

(10,053 posts)Trumpy claims that he has to eat KFC & McDonalds fast food all the time because he is afraid of folks trying to "poison" him. I think that the poisoning he is really afraid of is by Putin, for not dealing with the sanctions the way his svengali wants him to.
