3-GazPromBank created the account in correspondent bank for euro transactions. The following schematization indicates how GazProm opened the account in GPB.


4- Spanish gas company IberDrola buys gas from Russian gas company Lukoil.


5-IberDrola sents the money using spanish bank Santander. Santander sents this money to GPB Bank.


6-GazPromBank sents this money Lukoil deposit account.
