Is that news? All politicians do something like that (except those that decide they want to retire and pick a committee of their choosing, doing little to no work for a huge salary). It wouldn't even be news if it wasn't Gazprom in question. If he went on to sit on the board of, let's say, Siemens, no one would care.

It's still incomparable to the level of corruption in Romania and its neighbourhood.
