ZAGREB, May 6 (Hina) - The president of the Board of Directors of
Ina, Tomislav Dragicevic, on Tuesday rejected accusations from
charges that, according to some media, have been pressed against
some senior managers of Ina with regard to oil supplies. #L#
Dragicevic labelled the accusations as totally ridiculous an
announced that Ina would engage foreign experts to investigate the
entire matter.
"If any neglect existed, that may have been possible, but I do not
believe that there were any criminal dealings," Dragicevic said at
a press conference at Ina headquarters.
Some dailies reported that the Office to Prevent Corruption and
Organised Crime raised criminal charges against Dragicevic and
three other Ina officials, Zeljko Vrbanovic, the supply office
director Milovan Buchberger and Zdenko Miokovic in Ina's trading
department.
According to the press, they have been charged with deliberately
ordering oil from two large suppliers - the French Elf Trading and
Chinese Sinochem at higher prices rather than purchasing oil on the
spot market. In this way they damaged Ina for around ten million
dollars.
