Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin has testified as a witness at a closed trial into an appeal filed by former Russian Economy Minister Aleksey Ulyukayev, who was sentenced to eight years in prison for receiving a $2 million bribe.

The Tuesday testimony was Sechin’s first personal appearance in court as part of Ulyukayev’s case. He turned down a court summons several times in 2017 during the initial trial, citing his busy schedule and foreign business trips as the reason for the decision. Back then, Sechin asked his attorneys to present the testimony he had given to investigators before the start of the hearings and confirmed that his position had not changed.

The defense argued that Sechin was dodging a personal appearance and violating due process, while critics accused him of being arrogant and considering his position to be above the law. The issue was even raised at an annual Q&A session with President Vladimir Putin, but the Russian leader refused to criticize Sechin’s behavior.
