Mikhail Leontyev: "Ulyukaev takes money for nothing

Today it became known that the Minister of Economics Alexei Ulyukaev was detained when receiving a bribe on an especially large scale. He is suspected that he had extorted money with threats from Rosneft representatives. The official position of Rosneft will be formulated later, the company's press secretary Mikhail Leontyev said in a conversation with The Insider. He also added: “I will say not as a press secretary of Rosneft, but as Mikhail Leontyev. I don’t know what is going on, he <Ulyukaev> takes money for nothing, this is the impudence. Many. Takes for nothing, simply because so beautiful! Perfect rudeness! I understand there Alekperov or other people! Absolutely insolent! I did not conduct surveillance behind him. “Rosneft” - the victim is morally, but it would be financially if law enforcement agencies worked worse. 2 million dollars for no reason, supposedly money was given for a positive estimate from the Ministry of Economy. The assessment of "Bashneft" could not be negative. "

Earlier, Anton Common, General Director of the Center for Anti -Corruption Studies and Initiatives of Transpenseri International Russia, told The Insider that, in his opinion, the detention may be associated with the privatization of Bashneft.
