In\u00a02002 the company was found guilty\u00a0of repeated tax fraud. In 2004, following\u00a0enforcement proceedings,\u00a0the company\u2019s assets were seized\u00a0and its bank accounts partly frozen.\u00a0The Moscow Commercial Court\u00a0ordered the company to pay the\u00a0equivalent of 2,847,497,802 EUR in\u00a0taxes, interest and penalties. Yukos<br \/>\nmade several appeals complaining\u00a0about procedural irregularities and\u00a0lack of time to prepare a defence,\u00a0but none succeeded. In September\u00a02004, the Tax Ministry found Yukos guilty of further tax offences in the\u00a0years after 2000. The company was\u00a0ordered to pay sums of a similar\u00a0magnitude for the years 2001-3 as\u00a0well as a bailiffs\u2019 enforcement fee of\u00a07% of the total debt. Despite numerous\u00a0requests to postpone the payment date, payment was required\u00a0within very short deadlines.\u00a0On 19 December 2004, 76.79% of\u00a0Yukos\u2019s most valuable subsidiary\u00a0was auctioned to cover Yukos\u2019s tax\u00a0liability. Yukos was declared insolvent\u00a0on 4 August 2006 and liquidated\u00a0on 12 November 2007.<\/p>\n<p>To read the case summary on this judgment, please follow the link below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"related_module_content_base related_links\">\n<h3 class=\"related_module_content_title multicol\">Links<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_module_content\">\n<li class=\"related_module_content_block first \"><a class=\"related_module_content_element first \" href=\"http:\/\/ehrac.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Bulletin-17-ENG.pdf#page=13\">Full case summary in 2012 Summer Bulletin<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"related_module_content_block last \"><a class=\"related_module_content_element last \" href=\"http:\/\/hudoc.echr.coe.int\/sites\/eng\/pages\/search.aspx?i=002-422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OAO Neftyanaya Kompaniya Yukos v Russia &#8211; Official judgment (HUDOC)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_6adaddc27f605\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row standard_section \"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap\"><div class=\"row-bg\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row-bg-overlay\" ><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-t-w-inherits=\"default\" data-bg-cover=\"\" data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-hover-bg=\"\" data-hover-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" ><div class=\"column-bg-overlay-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\"><div class=\"column-bg-overlay\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sharing-default-minimal\"><div class=\"nectar-social default\" data-position=\"left\" data-color-override=\"override\"><div class=\"nectar-social-inner\"><a class='facebook-share nectar-sharing' href='#' title='Share this'>  <i class='fa fa-facebook'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><a class='twitter-share nectar-sharing' href='#' title='Tweet this'> <i class='fa fa-twitter'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Tweet<\/span> <\/a><a class='linkedin-share nectar-sharing' href='#' title='Share this'> <i class='fa fa-linkedin'><\/i> <span class='social-text'>Share<\/span> <\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Case No. 14902\/04 Judgment date: 20 September 2011 The applicant was represented by Mr P.
