A top European Union court appealed for the only European decision to overtake the Russian oil business, claiming that the blocks of the block were influenced by the chaos spread by the former business partner.
In the court papers filed in the EU General Court in February, Dutch trader Nils Troost’s lawyers wrote that their client’s companies stopped all involved in Russian oil at least 15 months before the EU decision, and a ship quoted on its approval list more than six years ago.
Troost’s lawyers argued that the EU’s decision in December seemed to be influenced by the chaos spread by his former business partner Gaurav Srivastava, with whom they said that “Troost” was engaged in a poisonous and bitter dispute.
Financial Times reported last year that Srivastava complained that he was a false claim that he was Working with the CIA is a secret operative And after Ukraine’s full-scale aggression, he promised to secure the license from the US Treasury to allow its companies to legally trade with Russia.
Troost ends the partnership in May 2021, identifying the accused fraud and has since accused Srivastava exaggerate his links with Moscow and launched a campaign to destroy his reputation.
The court filing said, “Mr. Srivastava says that the chaos prescribed by bad actors, influences decisions, damages credibility and affects the effectiveness of their sanctions,” the court said.
Srivastava denies to work with the CIA or spread chaos and describes the trost to the foot as “a rogue businessman” [Vladimir] Putin’s pocket. “
The EU sanctions decisions are basically based on the universally available records and media reports, and the block has yet approved about 2,5 people and entities in the Ukraine attack in Russia. According to the European Commission, more than 5 people have tried to reverse the decision, most of which cases are still underway.
In Suit someThe court ruled that the evidence compiled by the EU was insufficient to justify the list. However, European Union’s foreign policy spokesman Anita Hipper has said that the “large majority” was in favor of the EU so far.
The EU proof file against TRUST seen by FT has eight media articles, including two FTs, screenshots of the TRUST company’s website, universally accessible domain data, four public reports of non -profit groups, two blog posts of corporate intelligence agencies and one swiss corporate database.
The hipper said the ban was decided by the council of the EU member states, “all information that it is aware” and reviews the ban lists regularly.
With the approval of the EU Troost, the Paramount Energy and Products, a Geneva-based Paramount Energy and Products, has cited the ownership of the DMCC, which says that the EU-Backed Price Cap has continued to trade at the price of barrel at the price of barrel after declaring the EU-Backed price in December 2022.
As it reports on FT 2023 MarchThe Russian oil trade continued after the paramount DMCC cap was launched. Troost’s lawyers have argued that it was operated independently from Paramount SA and the UAE-Cervicediers of Swiss Parent Companies did not need to comply with the EU rules.
The Board Meeting Show Paramount DMCC was instructed to close all Russian business in June 2021. Troost says he soon decided that Srivastava was not CIA operative and the paramount DMCC had no US government support.
Also, the EU ban is in the list that Trust was “approved” with a registered ship-charting company in Hong Kong, known as LIVNA, accusing it of trading Russian crude on the cap. The EU proof file against TRUST includes screenshots that show that he registered a website for liver in 2014 but there is no information about the ownership of the company.
Troost’s lawyers sent documents to the EU court and FT that their client sold the leva to Michael Chang, a director of Michael Chang in 2018. Shipping records show that the ships continued for the paramount after Livana 20 2018, but Troost’s “ownership or management has no role”, lawyers said.
Contacting to FT, Chang said that he had been the director of the Livener for 25 years and when he wanted to expand its activities in 20 2018, Troost decided that he no longer wanted to be in shipping. Under the Terms of Sales, the paramount charter ships agreed to continue using the livena and the Trost was paid the full market price for shares, he said.
Chang rejected that Trust was associated with Livona, he said that he had not been involved in his activities after 20 2018. He added that the LIVNA Chartered ship was also wrong as the LIVNA Chartered ship was also wrong and did not trade the product in the EU statement.
Two months before the EU Troost approved, representatives of Srivastava shared information with FT, which accuses the ongoing relationship between Troost and Livner. At the same time, the law agencies, Orik, Herrington and Sutcliffe, who represent Srivastava in his commercial dispute with TRUST, shared the same information with European officials. Orik refused to comment.
In a statement to the FT, Srivastava said that the authorities had strictly investigated the target of possible sanctions and the data. “There is no chaos against the blue trost. The three independent government investigating agencies have now reached the same conclusion – that he consciously canceled the sanctions to support Russia, “he said.
“The story of the Trusst fairytale was created by a fake CIA spy to refrain from his authorized activities. Re -calling the same false statements repeatedly does not make them true. “
Comfort First allowed by the United Kingdom It was also approved in February 2024 and Switzerland. He is only one of the nine EU citizens approved by the block on the Ukraine war.
