The Audit Chamber of the Russian Federation
refused to submit a report on its audit of Transneft in connection
with stealing of funds during construction of the Eastern
Oil Pipeline. In his answer to an inquiry from YABLOKO’s leader
Sergei Mitrokhin Mikhail Bekhmelnitzin, auditor of the Audit
Chamber, informed that the audit report was classified secret
on Transneft’s request, as the documentation “represent a
commercial secret which is not subject to public discussion”.
YABLOKO’s leader continues to insist that there are no grounds
for classifying such documentation secret.
Sergei Mitrokhin is going to obtain the report on the audit
of Transneft on the demand of a court. He can apply to court
as soon as he gets the original answer from the Audit Chamber,
yet he has obtained this answer only by fax.
Inquiries in connection with stealing of the funds during
construction of the Eastern Oil Pipeline by Transneft were
sent to the Investigation Committee, the Audit Chamber and
the Interior Ministry in late November 2010. The inquiries
base on the documents published in the blog by ex-YABLOKO
member Alexei Navalny.
