Russia’s largest oil producer Rosneft said on August 16 ex-economy minister Alexei Ulyukayev, charged with extorting a bribe from the company, had himself come to a meeting in Rosneft’s office and left it with cash.
Ulyukayev on August 16 accused Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin and Russia’s FSB security service of carrying out a “provocation” against him and insisted the charges against him were fabricated.
