OREANDA-NEWS. March 19, 2008. The presidium of Samara regional court has declined the supervisory representation of Public Prosecutor’s Office of Samara region and confirmed the illegality of lawsuit in relation to Vladimir Makhlay, President and Chairman of Board of Directors of JSC “Togliattiazot”.

The case concerning alleged tax breaches in 2005 during ammonia sales by JSC “Togliattiazot” was brought on 29th May 2007 by Internal Affairs Department of Togliatti based on case papers from Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation. On 2nd October  2007 the  Togliatti court of Avtozavodsky district declared the initiation of proceedings as illegal.

Sergey Zamoshkin, Vladimir Makhlay’s attorney, is hoping that a similar case about alleged tax breaches in 2002-2004 will also be dismissed, which is being examined by the investigating committee of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation.
