The Council for the Examination of Investments of Importance to State Security decided today to impose a fine on Lukoil-Moldova LLC amounting to 5% of its turnover, but not exceeding 5 million lei, for failing to comply with the Council’s decision of December 14, and to grant a 5‑day deadline for compliance. We recall that under the previous decision, the Council gave Lukoil-Moldova 20 days to restore the situation that existed prior to 2005 and to transfer the infrastructure of the petroleum complex into state ownership, TRIBUNA reports.

On January 14, state institutions received Lukoil-Moldova LLC’s refusal to sign the handover‑acceptance act for the assets of the airport petroleum complex, invoking the lack of approval from its sole shareholder, Lukoil International GmbH. Given that the deadlines were exceeded and the previous decision was not respected, the measures provided by Law 174/2021 on investments of importance to state security will be applied gradually. At the first stage, for non-compliance with the Council’s decisions, Lukoil must pay the fine and comply with the previous decision within 5 days.

Chisinau International Airport continues to provide high‑quality services to passengers and ensures ground handling of aircraft, including uninterrupted fuel supply.
