German concern Siemens could not convince the court that it was turned around. The company insisted that its subsidiary, Siemens Gas Turbine Technology, was misled when concluding a contract for the supply of equipment to Russia, which a few years later turned out to be in the Crimea. On this basis, the Arbitration Court of Moscow filed a lawsuit on invalidating the deal with Technopromexport. Say, the supplier was confident that the technology is needed exclusively for the implementation of projects on the Taman Peninsula. However, to prove that the buyer intentionally deceived the supplier, Siemens lawyers could not. The German concern was not able to provide the court with documents proving the substitution of geographic concepts, did not name specific names of people who could mislead the representatives of the German company and buy turbines, knowing in advance that they would then be needed in the Crimea. As a result, the Moscow Arbitration Court dismissed the claim, RIA "Novosti". "Legal grounds for recognizing transactions as invalid according to the arguments set forth in the original claim, as well as for applying the consequences of invalidity of transactions provided for in. 2 items. 167 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, is not available. In satisfaction of the initial claim should be refused, "- is listed in the document. Earlier, the court refused to satisfy Siemens in another claim - the return of gas turbines installed in the Crimea without the consent of the German concern. The dispute between Siemens and its subsidiaries with the subsidiaries of Rostek Corporation OJSC and Tekhnopromexport LLC arose last summer, when information leaked into the media that the German company supplied equipment to the Crimea, bypassing the EU sanctions.

In the process it turned out that gas turbines in 2015.

were sold to the Russian side for the implementation of an energy project in southern Russia. Later, the equipment was put up for sale, and after considerable modification, the turbines were purchased in the secondary domestic market for installation at a CHP plant in Sevastopol and Simferopol.

Siemens demanded to arrest the turbines, as illegally trapped on the peninsula, and return them to the supplier.
