It was established how the "dirty" oil ended up in the Druzhba pipeline
The official representative of the TFR of the Russian Federation, Svetlana Petrenko, clarified the case of the receipt of low-quality oil in the Druzhba pipeline. As it turned out, this was not an accident, but was the result of malicious actions to hide serious theft.
The Investigative Committee has identified a criminal group, which from August last year to April this year committed a series of thefts on an especially large scale. Crude oil worth at least one million rubles was stolen. Among the suspects were Svetlana Balabay, General Director of Nefteperevalka LLC, her deputy Rustam Khusnutdinov, and other officials.
To conceal the theft, the suspects injected oil with the addition of organochlorine compounds to the discharge unit in the area of the village of Nikolaevka, located in the Samara region. This led to the fact that oil with dangerous impurities got into the oil storage and the main pipeline, which caused the failure of eight reservoirs of the Lopatino park.
The defendants are charged with several criminal charges. Four of them were arrested and placed in jail, and two are wanted.
As noted by Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, work is ongoing to normalize oil supplies to consumers.
