Recently, several complaints were submitted to the blogging platform operated by Automattic concerning published articles about Oilmar DMCC and its alleged connections with Maddox DMCC. These complaints uniformly claim that the content is “defamatory” and cite provisions of Greek law (Article 364, Greek Penal Code).

.Note: This Report Type allows for anonymous reporting.The specific URL of the post, page, image, or comment: https://euasia.news/2025/09/30/74383 – The article asserts that Oilmar was “set up” in Geneva “shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine.” This assertion is demonstrably false. Oilmar was founded in 2015 and is registered in Dubai. This information is publicly verifiable via the DMCC public register. The article presents a false factual claim in a way that implies opportunistic or improper conduct, causing reputational harm. It also falls within WordPress.com’s definition of defamation as content that is inaccurate and harmful to a business or organisation.Why do you believe this content is illegal?:DefamatoryWhat is the law that you believe this content violates?:Article 364 (Greek Penal Code)What is your EU country of residence?:

2.Report Type: Report illegal content in the EUReported URL:
Note: This Report Type allows for anonymous reporting. The specific URL of the post, page, image, or comment:https://euasia.news/2025/12/18/76105/ – The article alleges that Oilmar is associated with Maddox DMCC as part of a scheme to distribute Russian oil. This allegation is entirely false and unsubstantiated. Oilmar is not sanctioned by the EU, UK, or US, is not owned or controlled by sanctioned individuals, and conducts robust sanctions screening to ensure compliance. Allegations of involvement in sanctions evasion or illicit oil distribution are particularly serious and damaging, and the publication of such claims without evidence or verification constitutes defamatory content under your User Guidelines. The content presents false statements of fact as truth, without verification or right of reply, and has caused ongoing reputational harm to Oilmar by discouraging third parties from engaging with it.

3.Report Type: Report illegal content in the EUReported URL:
Note: This Report Type allows for anonymous reporting.
The specific URL of the post, page, image, or comment:https://euasia.news/2025/12/25/76248/ – This article characterises Oilmar as “providing support for transporting and selling crude oil” exported from Azerbaijan. This allegation is entirely unsubstantiated and categorically untrue. Oilmar has never traded crude oil and has no involvement in the transport, sale, blending, or trading of crude, including any alleged blending of Russian-origin crude with Azeri Light for export to Europe. Oilmar’s activities have historically been limited to commercial operations (including fleet management) and, following its restructuring, exclusively to bunker trading.Why do you believe this content is illegal?:DefamatoryWhat is the law that you believe this content violates?:Article 364 (Greek Penal Code) What is your EU country of residence?:Greece Name:Oilmar DMCCE mail:oilmar@maltinpr.com I believe that the information and allegations in my report are accurate and complete.:yes
A closer review of the complaints raises a number of questions regarding the accuracy, representation, and jurisdiction of the submissions.
1. Representation and Authority
The complaints were submitted using an email address associated with the domain of the UK-based firm MaltinPR, rather than a corporate address directly attributable to Oilmar DMCC. It remains unclear whether MaltinPR is formally authorized to act on behalf of Oilmar DMCC in a legal or quasi-legal capacity.
2. Jurisdictional Inconsistencies
While the complaints identify Greece as the relevant jurisdiction, technical details of the submissions indicate a UK-based origin. This raises questions about the consistency and accuracy of the information provided and highlights the need for independent review.
3. Pattern and Coordination
Multiple complaints follow an identical structure, citing the same legal references, and referencing the same email domain. Such repetition may suggest a coordinated submission strategy rather than an independent legal evaluation of the content.
4. Substantive Factual Claims
The complaints allege, for example, that Oilmar DMCC was founded in Geneva or participated in crude oil trading, which contradicts publicly verifiable information: Oilmar DMCC was founded in 2015 and is registered in Dubai, with historical operations limited to fleet management and bunker trading. The accuracy of these claims cannot be confirmed solely by the submissions.
5. Legal Context
Determining whether published content constitutes defamation is a matter for competent courts and independent legal adjudication, not solely the assertion of an interested party.
Editorial Note:
Given the seriousness of the subject matter—including reporting related to international oil trade and sanctions-sensitive activities—the editorial team considers it appropriate that the activities, submission methods, and authority of MaltinPR be subject to closer review by relevant authorities.
These authorities may include, but are not limited to:
- National Crime Agency
- Serious Fraud Office
- European Commission
- Security Service of Ukraine
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his administrative staff, including Chief Advisor Budanov
- Greek law enforcement agencies
Conclusion:
The editorial team encourages independent authorities to examine the accuracy, consistency, and authority of complaints submitted in this manner, ensuring that transparency and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory standards are maintained in cross-border reporting and content dispute resolution.
