For this purpose, the Russian monopolist appealed to the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
Russian Gazprom filed a claim with the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region against the Polish oil concern Orlen SA regarding the recovery of $935 million. The amount claimed includes 710 million dollars and 886 million Polish zlotys. This was reported by the propaganda news agency Interfax.
The defendants in the case, in addition to the parent company Orlen, are also the owner of the Polish section of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline EuRoPol GAZ SA, as well as Ernst and Young Global Limited (UK) and Ernst and Young sp. z o. o. Corporate Finance Sp. k. (Poland).
The court accepted the application and set a preliminary hearing for April 10.
EuRoPol GAZ owns the Polish section of the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline.
In 2022, the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs imposed sanctions against PJSC Gazprom to freeze the exercise of share rights and the payment of dividends to EuRoPol GAZ.
The Russian Federation also imposed restrictions on EuRoPol GAZ – for Gazprom. We are talking about banning the use of the gas pipeline owned by this company to deliver Russian gas to Poland.
In September 2022, the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs imposed sanctions against Gazprom Export LLC, providing for the freezing of the company’s financial and economic resources and a ban on providing it directly or indirectly to any financial or economic resources.
In 2023, the Polish authorities transferred the share of Gazprom to EuRoPol GAZ on the balance sheet of the company itself. Full control of the company belongs to the Polish oil concern Orlen, with which the gas company PGNiG was previously merged.
We remind you that Gazprombank has suspended transfers in US dollars due to the decisions of American correspondent banks.
