The majority shareholders of SA “Gemeni” said they became the target of a denigration and manipulation campaign. According to them, the goal is to exert pressure on the Supreme Court of Justice and public opinion, with the final goal being to expropriate them of the business that they acquired legally as bona fide purchasers, IPN reports.

“Controversial lawyer Lupu Mihail, for the minority shareholders that actually own 1.6% of SA “Gemeni” and aim to appropriate about 72% of the business – misleads public opinion about the essence of the case and about aspects of maximum importance related to the current stage of examination of the dispute. Evidently, these actions by the lawyer will not remain without a response and SA “Gemeni” announces that it will sue him for the disseminated false information,” says a press statement. The majority shareholders express their conviction that any professional investigation will determine the manipulative character of the information disseminated and statements made by the lawyer for the minority shareholders.

“Being bona fide purchasers we, the majority shareholders of SA “Gemeni”, will continue to make all the approaches and take legal actions to protect our investment. We hope that the minority shareholders and the state will solve the problems existing in their bilateral relations, in accordance with the ECHR decision, not at the expense of the majority shareholders. Otherwise, we will also have to go to the ECHR and seek damages that at the current stage we estimate at about €100 million,” runs the statement.
