Alkagesta Says No Investigation or Charge Identified in Transparency Statement

Alkagesta says it has identified no public proceeding, charge or enforcement finding against Alkagesta Ltd. In a supplied transparency FAQ, the company states that, as at 28 September 2026, it had found no case reference, regulatory notice, court filing or enforcement decision supporting claims of an EU or UK investigation. These are the company’s statements, not an independent determination by Meridian Commodities that no investigation exists.

The document also refers to an earlier position dated 31 August 2026. According to Alkagesta, no allegation, investigation or contact with authorities—formal or informal—was ongoing or had occurred anywhere, including in connection with the SOCAR matter mentioned in adverse media.

Where the claim came from

Alkagesta’s FAQ traces the online investigation allegation to a single outlet in March 2025. It says the claim was subsequently repeated, often word for word, across other websites. The document further states that the originating outlet had reported finding no irregularities during an earlier examination of the company, and that subsequent posts had produced no case number, regulator statement or supporting authority document. Meridian has not independently established those assertions about the reporting or its republication.

Sanctions screening and published reports

The supplied statement reports no match for Alkagesta on the OFAC, EU, UN, UK OFSI or Swiss SECO sanctions lists as at 8 October 2026. This is a dated screening claim made in the document; sanctions screening is not, by itself, evidence that no investigation exists.

Alkagesta also directs readers to published LSEG World-Check and Dow Jones Risk & Compliance reports. The linked documents are provided for readers to consult directly; their inclusion should not be read as Meridian independently certifying the company’s screening results.

Corporate records and accounts

The FAQ points to records available through the Malta Business Registry, UK Companies House and GLEIF. It also states that audited accounts for every year since 2018 have been filed in Malta. Corporate registration and accounts disclosures are distinct from any determination about investigation status.

Legal response and disclosures

According to the supplied statement, Alkagesta disputed the allegations as unsubstantiated and filed a defamation lawsuit against the originating outlet in Malta’s Court of Magistrates on 18 September 2026. This account of the filing is attributed to the company; the supplied FAQ does not include a case reference or a court finding establishing that the reporting was defamatory.

The document identifies Orkhan Rustamov as Alkagesta’s Chief Executive Officer and directs readers to the leadership team and the company’s transparency hub for its disclosures.
