Moscow city court to consider resignation of Svyazinvest director
MOSCOW, February 22 (Itar-Tass) -- The Moscow city court on Tuesday
will consider an appeal of Yevgeny Yurchik, the former director general of Russia's biggest telecom holding Svyazinvest challenging the Moscow's Khamovniki court ruling of November 23, 2010 to uphold his resignation from the post.
Ahead of the court session, a Svyazinvest spokesman, Igor
Pshenichnikov, said he hoped the Moscow city court will rule the company's actions in respect of its former director general as legitimate. "We have no grounds to doubt that Svyazinvest is acting in line with law," he told Itar-Tass.
Yurchik's dismissal case was considered by the Moscow Court of
Arbitration on February 18. The court then defeated Yurchik's claim
challenging Svyazinvest's shareholder resolution of October 1, 2010 on his early dismissal.
"The court's ruling did not come unexpected because the termination of
powers of Yevgeny Yurchenko as Svyazinvest director general was effected in accordance with all the norms of the law," Pshenichnikov noted.
In September, Yurchenko, 42, tended his resignation due to his
"principled disagreement with the Rostelecom leadership's position
regarding the strategy of development of the unified company," but later revoked it.
However, the board of directors accepted his resignation and Vadim
Semyonov took this post.
On October 5, Svyazinvest announced that Semyonov had been elected
director of the holding, in accordance with the government's directive, one month before the scheduled shareholders' meeting.
Svyazinvest is Russia's biggest telecom company. Its basic assets
include international communication, Rostelecom, and Russia's leader in the communications design, the Giprosvyaz institute.
At the end of 2009, the Russian government approved the reorganisation
of Svyazinvest, with a view to consolidating its assets under the
Rostelecom umbrella in order to create an integrated telecom group,
capable of delivering a comprehensive range of services throughout Russia.
This restructuring is due to be completed in May 2011.
