Romania investigates leaks from Russian-owned company
Associated PressBUCHAREST, Romania — Authorities in Romania have opened a criminal investigation into suspected data leaks against four employees of the local branch of neighboring Serbia’s NIS Petrol, which is majority-owned by Russia’s Gazprom Neft. Organized crime prosecutors said late Monday that police raided the company’s offices in the capital, Bucharest, and the western city of Timisoara, along with the employees’ homes, as part of the inquiry. The Belgrade-based NIS told The Associated Press in an emailed statement on Tuesday that the company “adheres to the existing legal rules of countries where it conducts business.” “The company has cooperated and will fully cooperate with all relevant institutions in order to clear all the aspects concerning the activities of the company and its employees in Romania,” NIS said. It’s Russia’s ownership.” Romanian media reported that the four are citizens of Moldova and high ranking in the Romanian subsidiary of NIS petrol.
