IBI is the same firm that has been claiming to be an LASCO shareholder for a long time, at the same time making to seriously question their legal title to these shares that have been arrested in the course of criminal proceedings for defrauding several tens of millions US dollars from LASCO – the current IBI officials are also very likely to be involved in this fraudulent scheme. Although IBI publicly claims to be holder of LASCO shares, the official annual report of IBI for 2008, which is drawn up in accordance with standards of the Republic of Latvia and with international accounting standards, clearly attests that IBI does not regard itself as holder of LASCO shares. Research of market and public opinion is the officially specified main activity type of IBI, which as if owns shares of the international shipping company LASCO. According to the annual report of IBI for 2008, the company’s shareholders are Arnis Nīcgalis, Mārtiņš Kvēps and Heidelberga Ltd. Income of IBI in 2008 constituted 0 lats, but expenses/losses – 31 lats. This firm has not paid a santim in taxes in 2008 – it has failed to pay the social, personal income, or corporate income tax. It results from the report that, possibly to evade taxation, IBI has failed to pay remuneration to Management Board and Supervisory Council, or the Accountant. At the same time, IBI itself owes the Management Board more than 5,000 lats, although the funds of IBI constitute 20,000 lats according to the report. The only specified payment to the state budget is 7 lats, yet even this amount apparently has not been paid by IBI, as it is reflected in the creditor section of the balance sheet. LASCO filed a claim statement to the Riga Regional Court already
in spring of 2009, requesting to invalidate the transactions with
LASCO shares between IBI and offshore companies Ojay Limited (Ojay)
and Eastgate Properties Limited (Eastgate). Documents at disposal
of LASCO clearly indicate that the transactions with LASCO shares
that have as if taken place between the said companies are actually
of manipulative character with a purpose to hide property, which
has been acknowledged also by an official of the Economic Police
Department of the Central Criminal Police Department of the State
Police in 2008 within framework of criminal proceedings. Court
has The nature of the previously made fictitious transactions is demonstrated by the fact that shares of Ojay and Eastgate were transferred to IBI account already on February 1, 2008, although the transaction was legally concluded only on February 4, which is confirmed to LASCO in a letter by IBI itself. According to standards of the Civil Law, a contract can be regarded as completely concluded only when a complete agreement on relevant components of the transaction has been reached between the contracting parties. Also according to Law on the Financial Instruments Market, dishonest dealings and market manipulations with financial instruments are forbidden. Moreover, on February 7, 2008, LASCO received an announcement from IBI dated with the previous day about gaining substantial direct interest of 27.55% or 55,099,352 bearer shares in LASCO, indicating February 4 of the same year as the date of obtaining these shares. On February 11, 2008, LASCO received announcements also from Ojay and Eastgate that on the same date, February 4, also these companies have gained substantial interest in LASCO in the same amount of shares as previously indicated by IBI. Heidelberga audits Ltd was specified as return address for the two announcements of offshore companies, whereas the announcement on behalf of IBI was signed by A.Nīcgalis – one of the owners of Heidelberga audits Ltd. No corrections or specifications to these conflicting announcements excluding one another have been received by LASCO until this very moment.
