The company itself announced this.
"Caspian Pipeline Consortium, being a law-abiding company... made a payment of 5,285,111,430 rubles to the federal budget," the press service said in a statement.
On June 23, the Arbitration Court of Appeal in Rostov-on-Don upheld the court's decision to recover from CPC 5.3 billion rubles in damages for the oil spill near Novorossiysk.
The incident took place on August 7, 2021, when crude oil was spilled from the Greek tanker Minerva Symphony.
As CPC later reported, the reason was the destruction of the internal cavity of the hydraulic compensator of the remote mooring device.
According to Rosprirodnadzor, the amount of damage to nature amounted to 4.48 billion rubles.
