Kazakh nationals from former Rompetrol leadership, sent to trial

Published on

The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) prosecutors sent to trial two Romanian nationals and two Kazakh nationals, who held management positions in the Rompetrol company, for the crime of tax evasion, according to Agerpres.

According to the court portal, they are Dmitriy Grigoryev (former vice-president and Chief Financial Officer of Rompetrol Group), Zhakenov Askar (former Chief Information Officer of Rompetrol Group), Vitalie Burca and Ovidiu Ciocodeica.

According to some sources, the former financier of the Dinamo club Cristian Borcea was also involved in this case, but he escaped the accusations of tax evasion and money laundering, after the prosecutors had to enforce the decisions of the Constitutional Court regarding the statute of limitations. Borcea also paid part of the damage.

In fact, 31 other defendants in this case escaped due to the same reason.

DIICOT maintains that, between January 2010 and October 2013, three of the defendants, together with other persons, constituted and supported an organised criminal group for the purpose of committing the crimes of influence peddling, tax evasion and money laundering.

The Ministry of Public Finance – the National Fiscal Administration Agency constituted a plaintiff in this case file with the amount of 39,457,199 RON .

During the criminal investigation, the total amount of 19,180,278 RON was recovered from the total damage to the state budget by the running of evasion paths in the final amount of 37,946,779 RON (through direct payments to the account of the State Treasury or by compensation of fiscal obligations).

During the criminal investigation, 6 of the defendants against whom dismissal was ordered paid legal expenses related to the criminal investigation in the amount of 180,000 RON.

The file was submitted for competent resolution with the Bucharest Tribunal.
