A former executive and three ex-directors of Aegean Marine Petroleum Network are being sued, accused of helping the bunkering giant’s founder, Dimitris Melissanidis, perpetrate and cover up an alleged $300m fraud scheme.
The alleged scheme involved six companies connected either directly to Melissanidis or to associates that are accused of getting phoney business deals or other preferential treatment in connection with a fuel storage facility at Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
