Rosneft increased the amount of the Sistema AFC claim to 170 billion rubles
Rosneft appealed to the Bashkiria Arbitration Court with a request to increase the claims for AFC Sistema to 170.6 billion rubles. This was reported by Interfax with reference to the press service of the oil company.
Initially, Rosneft demanded 106.6 billion rubles from the “system”. As explained in the oil company, the adjusted amount of the claim was formed taking into account the depreciation of the ruble from the moment the “system” is performed, due to which Rosneft went to court.
Rosneft spokesman Mikhail Leontyev said that the adjusted amount of requirements for the “system” most likely final, but the company does not exclude other claims. The “Systems” shares at the opening of a bid on May 24 collapsed by 11% due to news about increasing Rosneft's requirements.
In turn, the “system” called the new requirements of Rosneft with something “from the field of unscientific science fiction”, Prime reports. Immediately after filing a lawsuit, Rosneft in the “system” called her requirements illegal and unreasonable.
The lawsuit against AFK “System” “Rosneft” together “Bashneft” was filed on May 2. The plaintiffs want to compensate for the losses of Bashneft after its reorganization in 2014. As explained in Rosneft, “We are talking about organizational and financial manipulations, which led to the depreciation of the asset for the indicated amount.”
In early May, Bloomberg sources explained the claim against the “system” by the struggle between the head of Rosneft Igor Sechin and the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. As the agency noted, the main shareholder of the “system” Vladimir Yevtushenkov is the associate of Medvedev, whose positions have recently weakened in connection with anti -corruption investigations and mass protests.
