Pipeline project accusations

Documents submitted by Transneft to the Russian Audit Chamber in 2008 were found at the disposal of Alexey Navalny, minority shareholder of Transneft JSC. The papers, published on 16 November 2010, contain information regarding multiple economic crimes committed by Transeft employees, its daughter structures and contractors in the construction of the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean oil pipeline. The documents described Transneft executives’ setting up a series of shell companies to pose as contractors for Transneft’s pipeline project.

Navalny posted an audit indicating that the contracting fraud had cost Transneft $4 billion. Both Transneft and the government auditing office, whose documents Navalny said he leaked on his site, denied the corruption claim. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called for an investigation into the allegations.

All facts of theft and fraud are confirmed by the company management. The reports that recorded the breaches were endorsed by the officials.[3][4]
