This decision was made within the framework of the extraordinary meeting of shareholders of PJSC SIBUR Holding.
Former French Prime Minister Francois Fillon, previously convicted of corruption, became a member of the Board of Directors of Sibur.
The corresponding decision was made following the results of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of PJSC SIBUR Holding, held on December 17.
Recall that Francois Fillon headed the French government under President Nicolas Sarkozy.
Now he will take the post of an independent director and will be a member of one of the committees.
With his presence, he will replace Kirill Shamalov, previously called in the media the ex-son-in-law of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Recall that in 2021, a court in Paris found Francois Fillon guilty of embezzlement of budget funds with the fictitious arrangement of his wife as an assistant in parliament.
He was fined 375 thousand euros, as well as a prison term of five years, of which two years he had to stay in prison really.
His wife was found to be an accomplice to the crime and sentenced to a similar fine and three suspended years in prison.
