    Tecnimont wins damages against EuroChem

    Maire Group says that, in relation to its ongoing dispute with Russian EuroChem Group, its subsidiary Tecnimont has obtained immediately enforceable orders for conservatory measures to freeze assets of EuroChem Group for an amount of approximately €1.1 billion. These measures are based on the leave granted to Tecnimont by the ICC Arbitral Tribunal seated in London, to seize EuroChem’s assets in every country, totalling €1.1 billion. Further seizure requests are underway in several jurisdictions. The Arbitral Tribunal has also found that Tecnimont is entitled to apply to judicial authorities to obtain asset freeze measures against EuroChem Group’s assets worldwide, by way of security for the further potential damages caused by EuroChem Group’s recent unlawful legal actions undertaken in Russia.

    Chile’s lawmakers to investigate Codelco

    Members of the lower house in Chile’s Congress have unanimously approved creation of a special investigative commission to examine a series of alleged irregularities at state-owned copper producer Codelco. The issues are: overestimation of production by almost 27,000 t last year; a multimillion-dollar renovation of the company’s headquarters in Santiago; and, maybe, the collapse of a chimney at Potrerillos copper smelter in the Atacama region of northern Chile. The structural failure has forced a production suspension.
