The NIS Petrol Administrator, Mihai Corbu, who was the director of Lukoil Romania and Hungary, obtained through his firm Capital Properties, 2.25 million of the commission LPF received from the transaction with RCS-RDS.
Asked at the time how he came to negotiate this transaction, Mihai Corbu stated: "I’ve known Dumitru Dragomir for 2-3 weeks. Mr. Adrian Tarau, who was mandated by RCS-RDS to negotiate with LPF recommended me to the League to discuss the TV rights. It's not my job why he would not speak directly, maybe they had a difficult time finding a common language. I simply presented myself to the president and solved the problem. It was not easy, it took a few days but we must preserve the confidentiality of the business. "
Now Mihai Corbu is Director of NIS Petroleum Ltd, a company that used Ioana Basescu notary public services for executing Gazprom papers in Romania.
