Oil company president passes away
Former president of the ЮКОС (UKOS) oil company Vasili Alexanyan passed away during a gathering with relatives at his house in Moscow. The relatives told Дождь (Dozhd) TV the news.
In April 2006, Vasily Alexanyan was sentenced to prison under the charge of committing an economic crime and was penalized under Articles 160 and 174 of the Russian Criminal Code, that is, defalcation and usurpation of large amounts of money.
Due to several illnesses, including AIDS in the heavy stage, tuberculosis and lung cancer, in 2008, the court had allowed Alexanyan to be transferred to a city hospital instead of paying 50 million rubles. Then, considering the verdict expired, the court closed Alexanyan's case once and for all.
