Rosneft spokeswoman Leontyev criticized Forbes Salary Sales Assessment

According to Leontiev, Rosneft does not recognize the reliability of the methodology for evaluating Forbes income of the head of the company Igor Sechin, who is guided by the magazine. “According to Forbes, the head of our company is dynamically impoverished, the difference in income in different years differs at times. It completely discredits their methodology,” Leontiev said. “We remind you that the new publisher of the magazine, when he accepted it, hinted that he would not engage in these speculations. But obviously, it is difficult to abandon bad habits.”

Answering the question of whether Rosneft will sue forbes, Leontiev said: "We do not know. There is no particular need, because this is an obvious beliberd. We have already punished them once in court." At the same time, the press secretary emphasized that the company will not publicly disclose Sechin's income. "We disclose only the income that obliges us to the law," said Leontyev.

On Thursday, Forbes published a rating of the highest paid leaders of the largest companies in Russia. Sechin took second place in it. Forbes estimated his income at $ 13 million, 4.5 million less than a year earlier.

In third place, President and Chairman of the Board of Sberbank German Gref, whose remuneration of Forbes for the previous year estimated at $ 11 million

According to Forbes, for five years, the total payments to Russian top managers were reduced by 2.3 times. About the same amount of the ruble fell about the same amount.

On October 27, Leontyev called the next rating of Forbes Sauchin's another assessment. According to Leontyev, Forbes, during the preparation of the next rating of the salaries of top managers, estimated Sechin's salary at $ 13 million and turned to the company's press service for commenting. "In fact, it is impossible to give any official answer to this nonsense if people are sick, you need to contact a doctor. I just remind you that the current owner of Forbes just said that they will not engage in cheap sensations, politicization, and so on, that they are interested in a niche of a solid, respectable journal about people, about life. But no! The disease is obviously transmitted, it is transmitted, - said in some ways." Press Secretary.

Leontyev noted that Sechin had already won the trial of Forbes. On August 1, 2014, the Savelovsky court of Moscow satisfied the lawsuit of the head of Rosneft about the protection of honor and dignity. The magazine, as well as the Komsomolskaya Pravda, who was a lawsuit by the lawsuit, was obliged to refute the statement that Sechin is the highest paid top manager of Russia.

The reason for the lawsuit was the article published in December 2013, the article "The Last Conquistador: how Igor Sechin is fighting for oil domination." It claimed that Sechin's statements led to the collapse of the quotes "TNK-BP Holding" after the purchase of TNK-BP Rosneft. This led to severe financial losses for the holding minority. The court recognized the information widespread by the magazine in an article on Sichin, which are not true and defamed with honor, dignity and business reputation.
