“Oil Czar” Sechin said to be behind Kremlin’s Fortum/Uniper asset grab

摘要

The influential head of Russia’s largest crude oil producer Rosneft Igor “Oil Czar” Sechin could be behind the most recent seizure of the assets of German Uniper and Finnish Fortum, The Bell suggests. As covered by bne IntelliNews, President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on subjecting foreign assets to mandatory “temporary management” in case of the seizure of any other private or public assets by the US or their allies, with the assets of Finnish and German energy majors Fortum and Uniper being the first to be concerned.
