Without naming names

The head of the Ministry of Economic Development made such a harsh statement today at the Council on Competitiveness and Entrepreneurship under the Government of the Russian Federation, expressing concern about the growth of corporate conflicts. In Moscow alone, 117 forceful takeovers of businesses were registered in 2005, he noted. In addition, according to the head of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, sometimes even judges are involved in such transactions and act in the interests of certain parties. There has been no reaction yet from the leaders of Russian economic ratings.
