Lukoil loses Romania court appeal

摘要

The court of appeal in Ploiesti on 5 August rejected an appeal by Russian private-sector firm Lukoil’s Romanian subsidiary, Petrotel-Lukoil, owner of the 50,000 b/d Ploiesti refinery, whose general director and six managers are charged with tax evasion and money laundering. But judicial control for a number of employees under investigation has been softened, Lukoil says.
