The Norwegian Wikborg Rein Advokatfirma and the British Forensic Risk Alliance & Co will receive over 15.74 million lei for the services of an independent audit of the historical debt of Moldovagaz to Gazprom and Factoring-Finance.
This is stipulated by the relevant contract signed with them by the Public Property Agency of Moldova. According to the published data, in general, the purchase of the services of an independent financial and legal audit of the debt of Moldovagaz to Gazprom and Factoring-Finance, for natural gas supplied to consumers on the right bank of the Dniester, will cost 15 million 742.64 thousand lei. Both companies committed to this audit by January 30, 2023. The contract was awarded following direct negotiations conducted by order of the Commission for Emergency Situations dated July 13. As InfoMarket agency reported earlier, the Moldovan authorities stated that they wanted to select an audit company that would not only establish the exact amount of the mentioned historical debt of Moldovagaz, but also find out the factors behind the formation of this debt. The Moldovan authorities and Gazprom previously agreed to audit the historical debt of Moldovagaz to Gazprom and Factoring Finance for the gas consumed by the right bank of the Dniester, and then sign an agreement on the settlement of this debt. But they failed to implement these plans by the date agreed last fall - May 1, 2022.// 16.08.2022 — InfoMarket
