Rosneft, apparently, has pulled off a deal with the acquisition of Yukos' key production unit
Russia?s state-run oil company Rosneft, apparently, has pulled off a deal with the acquisition of Yukos? key production unit Yuganskneftegaz.
A man from Putin?s administration, and close associate of the Russian president, Igor Sechin, seems to be behind the forced sale of Yuganskneftegaz.
The company, which bought Yugansk, was two-day old firm, registered in Tver, which, in its turn, was bought by Rosneft a couple of days ago.
Sechin, the CEO of Rosneft, is suspected to establish Baikal Finance Group specially to acquire Yukos? unit, in order to buy it from Baikal, and possess lusted Yuganskneftegaz eventually.
Sechin is a leading member of the siloviki clan of officials with secret security backgrounds who believe in the supremacy of the state. Igor Sechin, a translator in the past, is said to have no business experience.
