The value of relevant assets once exceeded US $93 million. The statement said that Jetway was also accused of failing to declare millions of dollars of income and pay taxes for it. It is reported that if convicted of all crimes, he may face decades of imprisonment. According to the global times, Reuters reported on the 24th, the press secretary of the Russian President responded to the matter that Russia is ready to provide consular assistance to jetvoi, but because jetvoi is a dual nationality of Russia and the United States, Russia will not intervene in his case. Jetvoi joined Novatec in 2003 as chief financial officer and member of the management committee, helping Russia's largest independent natural gas producer to become the country's leading LNG processor and exporter within 15 years. Jetvoi is considered one of the most popular executives in Russia, and various publications list him as the top CFO of the oil and gas industry in the country and Europe. According to China Import and export network, Novatec is the largest independent natural gas producer in Russia. The company is mainly engaged in the exploration, production, processing and sales of natural gas and liquid hydrocarbons, and has 20 years of operating experience in the Russian oil and gas industry. Its main business areas are concentrated in the Yamal Nenets autonomous region of western Siberia (YNAO). YNAO is the most famous natural gas production area in Russia, accounting for 90% of Russia's natural gas production and about 17% of the global natural gas production. As of December 31, 2013, the company has proven natural gas reserves equivalent to 12.5 billion barrels of oil. Most of the reserves are located on land, which can be developed directly from land and can be classified into traditional categories.
