Summary, etc This report published by a Swiss corporate watchdog, Public Eye investigates some companies in African countries, purportedly partly owned by Swiss companies which are accused of importing contaminated diesel which contains high levels of sulphur content for bigger profits. The investigation covers countries such as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Togo and Zimbabwe. The report reveals that European oil companies were exploiting weak Africa fuel standards by selling toxic diesel and gasoline across the continent by using an illegitimate strategy to boost profits hawking so called African quality ‘fuels that have had devastating health and environmental impacts across many Sub Saharan states
