Viewing cable 07MOSCOW177, RUSSIA ENERGY: PWC TAX CASE TRAIL DATE SET

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

1.  (U) This message is sensitive but unclassified and not 
for Internet distribution. 
 
2.  (SBU) On January 17, the judge hearing the Federal Tax 
Service (FTS) case against PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) for 
allegedly falsifying audits of former oil giant Yukos has 
granted PWC's request for a delay in the start of proceedings 
as well as the firm's request for arbitration.  The 
three-member arbitration panel will begin hearing the case on 
February 14.  The judge also granted the prosecution's 
request to combine the charges relating to PWC's 2002, 2003, 
and 2004 audits of Yukos into one case.  PWC contacts have 
told us that the prosecution continues to collect evidence of 
supposed misconduct, but they believe much of this 
information of little relevance to the case.
