An Italian court on Wednesday cleared oil majors Eni and Shell of corruption charges related to a major deal in Nigeria, according to media and a corruption watchdog. The case focused on claims that $1.1 billion (920 million euros) in bribes had been paid to secure a giant Nigerian offshore oilfield in 2011. A Milan court acquitted Eni, Shell and 13 defendants, including Eni's CEO Claudio Descalzi, the ANSA news agency and the Re:Common anti-corruption watchdog said. aa/ar/jv
