The former owner of the adult video website Pornhub - businessman Bernd Bergmayr - has approached the US Treasury with a proposal to buy the assets of the Russian company Lukoil, Reuters reported, citing its sources.
According to the source, Bergmayr did not specify which assets he was interested in, whether he had contacted Lukoil about the matter or whether he was part of the company's investment consortium.
In October, the US and Britain added Lukoil to their sanctions lists, after which the company announced its intention to sell its international assets. On November 14, Lukoil representatives announced that the company is negotiating the sale of its foreign assets with several potential buyers and will announce the deal once final agreements are reached and the necessary permits are obtained.
