Oil company BP involved in ten billion dollar payment to businessman involved in suspicious energy deal

Documents revealed that BP will also pay billions of dollars in royalties.

The energy giant bought businessman Frank Timis's stake, in a gas field off the coast of Senegal for $250 million in 2017. But documents revealed that BP will also pay his company between nine and twelve billion dollars in royalties.
