摘要

MMC Norilsk Nickel has launched an internal investigation into the reported transfer of some of its assets to a new company MMC Intergeo that is being set up by Mikhail Prokhorov's Onexim Group, Norilsk said in a July 25 statement. The investigation is being carried out as part of the transfer of the business handled by Norilsk deputy general director Maxim Finsky, who is leaving the company to head up Intergeo. The goal of the investigation is to "clarify the legal basis on which fields that were acquired in the framework of projects being handled by Finsky during his work at Norilsk Nickel are mentioned as projects to be developed by the company Intergeo," the statement says.
