Charitable-spending transparency controversy
Transneft was criticized for not disclosing charity recipients between 2007 and 2011. Information published in 2011 indicated that large sums were transferred to the Konstantinovsky charity foundation, while a comparatively small amount supported several other charitable institutions. The controversy concerned disclosure, allocation, and governance of corporate charitable funds.

Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean pipeline contracting allegations
Alexei Navalny published documents he said originated from audit materials concerning the Eastern Siberia–Pacific Ocean oil pipeline. The documents alleged that Transneft personnel, subsidiaries, and contractors used shell companies and that approximately US$4 billion had been lost through fraudulent contracting. Transneft and the government auditing body disputed the corruption allegations. The supplied material reports both a call for investigation by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and company acknowledgment of breaches involving theft and fraud, but it does not establish a final legal determination for every allegation.
