An investigation of Der Spiegel/ZDF and Le Monde found that EU companies (including Linde) are helping the Kremlin to implement a strategic project in the Arctic. A Russian court has ordered the seizure of 13 ISO containers for liquid helium owned by Germany's Linde and put them under the control of RusKhimAlyans, a subsidiary of gas giant Gazprom, according to a Russian court ruling. The court had previously ordered nearly $500 million of assets belonging to Linde to be frozen at the request of the joint venture. The Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, at the request of Ruskhimallians, which is the operator of the project for the construction of a gas processing and liquefaction complex in Ust-Luga, seized the property, funds and securities of subsidiaries of the German Linde.
