Lipmans: selling Liepajas metalurgs to KVV Group was a case of corruption

BC, Riga, 29.12.2015.Print version
Selling the insolvent joint-stock metallurgical company Liepajas metalurgs to Ukraine's KVV Group was clearly a case of corruption, businessman Kirovs Lipmans told a press conference yesterday, cites LETA.

In Ukraine, the authorities are scrutinizing the company for tax evasion, stressed Lipmans.

 

"They are fraudsters and conmen, and the state must provide no support for these frauds," said Lipmans.

 

KVV Liepajas metalurgs board member Igor Talanov said he would not comment Lipmans' statements.

 

"Latvian authorities, including security and financial institutions, thoroughly checked KVV Group before the deal was authorized," reminded Talanov.

 

As reported, KVV Liepajas metalurgs will post EUR 8 million in losses this year, as Talanov said earlier today.

 

He also said that KVV Liepajas metalurgs would not make the scheduled EUR 2.7 million payment to the State Treasury today, and was requesting the State Treasury to postpone the payment for two years.
