Polish special services are currently investigating whether Orlen Trading Switzerland, a subsidiary of Polish refiner Orlen PKN.WA, may have violated sanctions regarding the import of oil from Russia or Iran, broadcaster Radio Zet reported on Thursday.
In August 2023, Orlen's utilization of tankers that previously carried Russian crude to Asia for importing oil from the Middle East raised concerns about adherence to EU and G7 price caps for Russian crude. 'All our activities, including those related to the delivery of crude oil, are in line with the applicable sanctions,' Orlen said at the time.
