Rosneft has undergone a global reshuffle in the security service: three deputies of the acting head of the security service of the company, Ural Latypov, and five ordinary employees of the service were dismissed at once.
This was announced today without reference to sources by the profile telegram channel “TEK-TEK”.
The authors of the channel emphasize that there has not been such a purge of security guards since Igor Sechin came to the post of head of Rosneft in 2013. According to one version, the reason for the mass layoffs is allegedly in conflict with another service – the Department of Internal Security, but there is no official confirmation of this information.
Rosneft spokesman Mikhail Leontiev, in a conversation with a Znak.com correspondent, refused to comment on these data, saying that he did not have time for this.
Ural Latypov has been acting head of Rosneft’s security service since 2017. He is also a member of the board of directors of Rosneft’s subsidiary, Bashneft. Since 2012, he has worked as deputy head of the Federal Service for Drug Control in the Moscow Region. Even earlier (1996-2012) he worked in the prosecutor’s office, where he rose from the investigator of the inter-district prosecutor’s office in Bashkortostan to the senior prosecutor of the main department for supervision of the investigation of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation.
