Divorce after wiring

The German concern Siemens confirmed that the four turbines manufactured in 2016 for the project in Taman were illegally delivered to the Crimea. This was reported on Twitter Reuters.

In this regard, the corporation intends to completely withdraw from the capital of the Russian company Interewomatics. According to Siemens, it was this enterprise that reconstructed turbines to hide their origin and bypass the ban on delivery. The German concern owns 45.72 percent of "Interethomatics".

Siemens stops the supply of generating equipment to Russian companies that are controlled by the state. The concern has already begun to break out licensing agreements for the supply of equipment for power plants.

According to TASS, the representative of Siemens in Russia, Philip Ench, said that the company does not go about the company's departure from the Russian market: the company only suspenses the supply of energy equipment to Russian clients. According to Ench, the concern checks whether the activities of its customers in Russia correspond to the export orders of the European Union.

On July 14, the German edition of Wirtschafts Woche wrote that Siemens Executive Director Joe Cerez is considering the possibility of leaving joint assertions with Russian companies after a scandal with turbines. According to the newspaper, the corporation was going to get rid of shares in Interewomatics and LLC Siemens - Gas Turbine Technologies - an enterprise that produced turbines for the station in Tamani. In Siemens, then these statements were called "speculation."

On July 6, Reuters reported that two of the four Siemens turbines, which, according to the contract, were supposed to be installed at the power plant under construction in Taman, arrived by sea in Sevastopol . Siemens assured that "they would take operational measures to prevent illegal use of equipment." In particular, the concern will not participate in the installation of turbines and ensure their warranty service.

On July 10, Siemens stated that they did not give consent to the supply of turbines for an annexed Ukrainian peninsula, and at the Technopromesport company over the past few months, the equipment would not fall into Crimea in writing. The concern said that he would hold the counterparty accountable.

The next day, Siemens filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Arbitration Court of the Technopromesport and Siemensu - Gas Turbine Technologies.

Then the German ambassador to Russia Rydigiger von Frich said that the circumstances of the supply that violate the EU sanctions should not be investigated by German, but the Russian authorities. “If what happened is true, then Siemens was seriously deceived, and this was a violation of the contract, a serious undermining of confidence and a very strong blow to investment in Russia,” the diplomat noted.

On July 13, Reuters reported that on a ship moored in the port of Feodosia, four cylindrical objects covered with tarpaulin were discovered. In shape and size, these objects several meters long correspond to Siemens turbines , the photos of which are published in the public domain, and generators to them - generators are supplied with turbines.

On the same day, Fontanka said that the general director of the “power machine” Roman Fillipov was interrogated in the FSB as a suspect in the case of the disclosure of GOSTain after searches at his house and in the working office. According to the plot of the case, Phillipes acquainted unauthorized persons with certain documents containing secret information. At the same time, the special service has not yet been installed, he did it intentionally or by negligence. The case can be retrained for an article about negligence. Filippov was released after the interrogation. On July 20, the board of directors of the enterprise fired Fillipov . He could not continue to occupy a position due to cancellation of admission to secret materials.
