BAKU, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Igor Sechin, the head of Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft, said on Thursday that the company has transferred $700 million in second-half 2021 dividends into special accounts for BP.
He also said that BP remained a "shadow" shareholder in Rosneft despite statements from the international major about leaving Russia following the start of what Moscow calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine in February.
