Criminal proceedings have been launched against the Electric Networks
of Armenia, Daughter Company of Russian Inter RAO EES based on a
request by the State Revenue Committee accusing the Networks of
tax evasion of 5 million dollars. Investigation does not comment
on the situation, while the ETA issued a statement dwelling on the
possible failures of energy supply, due to the fact that documents
were confiscated during the search, the lack of which can influence
on the management quality. Besides, the company thinks the claims on
5 million tax evasion are ungrounded. This information is published
on Deutsche Welle website.
Deutsche Welle writes that the Armenian press reported one of the
proprietors of the Electric Networks of Armenia wanted to sell their
share to a French company. According to this information, the sale
had to take place on the first days of Sarkozy's visit to Armenia,
but the Russian Inter RAO EES changed its mind at the last moment
noting the "ears" of some oligarchs behind the deal. Deutsche Welle
collocutor from the Electric Networks of Armenia, who didn't want to
reveal his name, said that the reason for the refusal maybe the fact
that search was launched in the company. Deutsche Welle does not rule
out the interests of certain influential Armenian people are behind
the search by the State Revenue Committee. Deutsche Welle runs that
there is danger that energy supply failures are possible to increase
in winter.
This publication by the German portal is really interesting. The
point is that the claim to the Electric Networks of Armenia is
really unprecedented. It is difficult to imagine that a large
company belonging to Russia can be searched and presented such a
claim in Armenia.
Apparently, this surprised Russians too. And it is not ruled out that
the German portal tries to hint a possible Russian sabotage in Armenia
which can happen in the form of energy supply failure. Armenia should
pay serious attention to this hint or warning and take up steps not
to be tempted by this sabotage.
