Tatneft is an interesting asset "

1. What is the purpose of the arrest of the head of the AFC “System” by Vladimir Yevtushenkov?

2. Why right now?

3. Who is the next?

1-2. The Investigative Committee suspects that the transaction has passed at a low cost. This is an old story, but there is a reason because of which the case was raised. In 2014, Bashneft was going to place shares on the London Exchange, that is, to enter the international level with the involvement of international investors. After that, the company would receive a completely different status, but now such an opportunity is blocked. Although this is an unofficial version, from an economic point of view it makes sense.
3. Western sanctions - if we talk about large companies in the oil sector - do not affect Tatneft. She and Surgutneftegaz are not tied to European and American companies and do not need their technology. The mentioned companies have stable production, and the necessary equipment is produced in Russia.
Tatneft is a really interesting asset that can be worthy of attention from the point of view of a mercy with one of the domestic oil giants. As for Surgutneftegaz, this is a closed company, and everything is not so simple there. But the story with Bashneft is a major event, and in the coming days no one expects similar stories.
