The privatization of Oltchim, according to the plan of Constantin Roibu (through "Harry Potter")

I have announced that Dan Voiculescu is interested in Oltchim a month ago (see BURSA of August 24th, 2012, the article called "Even though the plant owes over 700 million Euros/ Dan Voiculescu, among those interested in the takeover of Oltchim"), and yesterday, after the letter of the Dutch offshore Gliding Ltd Amsterdam, which notifies the Ministry of the Economy that Dan Diaconescu owes 46 million Euros in an account opened with London-based HSBC, the presence of Dan Voiculescu in the privatization of Oltchim seems to become more obvious.

First of all, let's note that the letter from an offshore which announces that Dan Diaconescu has money in a certain account, has no relevance for the privatization of Oltchim, because it is not a letter sent by the bank itself, thus, we can't understand why Dan Diaconescu's lawyer Daniel Fenechiu got all hot and bothered, claiming that confidential documents from the file submitted in the call for tenders for the privatization of Oltchim were made public.

But the letters of Gliding Ltd Amsterdam also involve (without making any sense at all) a Russian firm, DiP SOVGroup LLC, whose representative, according to the news from RISEBLOG, would be Aleksandr Dokiychuk, who has a major mythology behind him: some claim that Dokiychuk was born in 1958, to a mother from Romania's Oltenia region and a father who was a former KGB officer, and that he is an advisor on economic and financial relations between Russia and the USA, and an expert in business for Romania and Ukraine of the state-owned Russian Institute for Scientific Research on Foreign Economic Relations (VNIIVS), which is subordinated to the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation; others claim that since back in 2007, Dokiychuk has been involved in an energy development project, as the promoter, together with Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu, through PDL senator for the county of Argeş Mircea Andrei (whom some have labeled "the garden gnome of Sorin Ovidiu Vîntu" as he served as the lawyer of Vîntu as well of Ghiţă - "România" TV); Dokiychuk, is mentioned as a former resident in Romania of the Russian military intelligence service (GRU); it is also said that Dokychuk met Mircea Andrei two years ago, in Bucharest, with the official purpose of organizing the visit of a delegation of Romanian senators to meet with the members of the Russian Duma, after an intense exchange of letters between Alexander Mikhailovich Babakov, vice-president of the Duma, and senator Mircea Andrei; it is also said that in 2003, Dokiychuk was involved in the negotiations for the recovery of the Romanian treasure from the Russian government; and he is also presented in the book by the deceased Claire Sterling "Thieves' World" (published in 1994), as being involved in a financial crime operation, typical for the Russian mafia (pages 202/203).

It is worth mentioning that in the same affair of recovering the Romanian treasure from the Russians, also mentioned, besides Alexander Michael Dokiychuk, is Eugen Anca, about whom we wrote two days ago that he was going to intermediate the meeting between Dan Diaconescu and the Russian investors in Spain.

Still, what is the connection between Dokiychuk and Dan Voiculescu?

In the end, it would seem that the entire operation around the privatization of Oltchim follows a plan conceived one year ago by Constantin Roibu, the former CEO of Oltchim, a plan which involves both Dokiychuk and Dan Voiculescu.

On August 24th, in BURSA, we wrote that:

"It would seem that businessman Dan Voiculescu would like to participate in the privatization as well, according to sources, as does Azeri company SOCAR and other companies from the United Arab Emirates and Russia".

Roibu had made it his plan to privatize Oltchim, through a few companies and people he favored:

- Dan Voiculescu ( GRUPUL INDUSTRIAL VOICULESCU and COMPANIA GRIVCO SA Bucureşti);

- Alexander Dokychuk and Mihai Ciucă, representing some Russian interests, which expressed their availability to act as intermediaries and solve the litigations between Romania and the Russian Federation, or between Romania and other countries;

- SOCAR (Azerbaidjan) and companies from the United Arab Emirates, represented by Ramzi Al Halasa, the chief of staff of Sheikh Alnehayan Sultan bin Khalifa (the son of the president of the Emirates);

- JOINT STOCK COMPANY TECHNOLOGY INVESTEMENT SERVICES ENERGY (Russian Federation) which, at the end of July 2011, has expressed its intention to acquire the majority stake of OLTCHIM SA;

- a group of Israeli businesspeople de Gheorghe Alexandru Hetel (shareholder and administrator of S.C. HGA SERVIMPEX SRL Bucureşti), who were interested to cooperate with OLTCHIM SA with a view of acquiring the ARPECHIM refinery.

What we are seeing now seems to fit just fine with what Roibu was looking for, even though, in a somewhat ironic turn of events, he recently made the following statement for BURSA:

"I am not in charge of the privatization and I don't have all the data which the OPSPI has. But Mr. Remus Vulpescu is an experienced lawyer and I suspect that he has a strategy in mind that will result in a successful privatization."

By getting Dan Diaconescu involved, like another Harry Potter, Constantin Roibu seems to be miraculously achieving his plans.

Let's not forget that "Harry Potter" said he would bring Roibu back, to lead Oltchim.

I wish you good luck, boys!
