MOSCOW, MARCH 3, RIA NOVOSTI - Sibneft Co. is coping with fiscal discipline to a T, as it has always been, whatever the Taxation Ministry may allege, Alexei Firsov, press spokesman of the petroleum mammoth, said to Novosti.
Repeated checks-in particular, by the federal Auditing Chamber in the disputable years 2000-01, did not bring out even the slightest trespasses. The company is determined to prove its innocence now as it did many times before. The ministry assumes tax evasion to a billion US dollars in 2000 into 2001. Related documents have reached the company-and to point out many repeated legal inspections at that time is the only thing the company can say in reply, added our interviewee.
