c’est Rich et non Ritch je pense celui dont vous parlez avec Clinton. Dans son histoire tortueuse on tombe sur un Antonov 124..
Several historical facts first. AN-124-100 « Ruslan » airplane, state registration number UR-82007, serial number 19530501005, property of the state enterprise Aviation Research-and-Design Complex named after Antonov (ARDC), was attached in the Canadian Goose Bay Airport on 28 June. It had delivered there a cargo of ammunition and equipment for Italian Air Force carrying out annual military exercises in Canada. The plane was seized by Canadian authorities executing the respective decision of the Arbitration Institute of Stockholm Chamber of Commerce dated 30 May 2002 in the case brought byTMR Energy Ltd. Company against the State Property Fund of Ukraine.
Over the last month, the press has discussed every detail of the debt, for which the « Ruslan » plane was seized, but there still are several inconsistencies in the story. In 1992, the state-owned enterpriseLysychansk Oil Refinery and Swiss Маrc Rich & Refining АG (one of the group of companies belonging to a notorious millionaire Marc Rich) incorporated a Joint Venture Lysmarc. In 1993, the company was restructured (part of the millionaire’s assets was purchased by his partners and renamed into Glencore Inc.), and his share in the joint venture’s authorized fund was referred to a Cyprian subsidiary of Rich’s holding called TMR Energy Ltd., while the joint venture was re-registered as Limited Liability CompanyLysoil. The Lysychansk Oil Refinery and Lysoil concluded a contract on the enterprise modernization and operation, which was never fulfilled (the reasons should be discussed separately). Prior to privatization, in 1994, the Lysychansk Oil Refinery was corporatized into a Public Joint-Stock CompanyLyNOS. According to the effective legislation, the State Property Fund was an assignee of all long-term investments of the enterprise under corporatization, including its debts and shares in the authorized fund, such as a 50% share of the Lysychansk Oil Refinery in the Limited Liability Company Lysoil. In July 2000, the TNK-Ukraine [Tiumen Oil Company] bought 67% of the Public Joint-Stock CompanyLyNOS for USD 53 million, after which TMR Energy Ltd. filed a claim for USD 42.3 million with the Arbitration Institute of Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
