Russian oil chief dies in ’fall from window,’ firm says he was ill: Report
Live MintRavil Maganov, the chairman of Russia's second-largest oil producer Lukoil, died on Thursday after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, two sources familiar with the situation said, becoming the latest in a series of businessmen to meet with sudden unexplained deaths. In April, Sergei Protosenya, a former top manager of Russia's largest liquefied natural gas producer Novatek, was found dead with his wife and daughter at a villa in Spain. In May, Russian media reported a former Lukoil manager, Alexander Subbotin, was found dead in the basement of a house outside Moscow. Maganov was a close associate of one of Lukoil's founders, Vagit Alekperov, and frequently took part in meetings of Russian oil producers and the energy ministry to decide on joint actions as part of the OPEC group of leading global oil producers.
