La collection sera exclusivement vendue aux membres de la communauté Crurated et sera disponible à l’échelle mondiale tant pour les restaurants que pour les acheteurs privés.

Groffier et Crurated font aussi équipe pour distribuer la Collection Groffier unique au format Magnum et plus. La technologie NFT de Crurated et les bouchons à capsule or du Domaine Groffier offrent la meilleure garantie d’authenticité pour les bouteilles provenant directement du Domaine.

La collection vintage sur Crurated se compose des lots suivants :

Une sélection verticale des Amoureuses (2016-2021), que l’on considère comme faisant partie des meilleurs terroirs de la Côte de Nuits

Official Statement: Saurabh Chandrakar Clarifies Misinformation Surrounding Wedding Expenses and Other Allegations

DELHI, India, Oct. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In light of recent media reports surrounding the Mahadev App case, Mr. Saurabh Chandrakar, an entrepreneur hailing from Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, finds it imperative to address the glaring misinformation and unfounded accusations that have surfaced. As a dedicated businessman with an unblemished record, Mr. Chandrakar has been taken aback by the baseless claims regarding his alleged involvement in illicit activities.

Contrary to sensationalized reports, Mr. Chandrakar vehemently asserts that the entire wedding ceremony, costing around AED 10 million, was entirely funded by his internal accruals and savings. Meticulous well-documented records substantiating the sources of his income are available. Circulating news suggesting a payment of INR 200 Crores in cash raise incredulity, and while Mr. Chandrakar questions the feasibility of such an enormous cash transaction, he emphasizes the lack of practicality of such claims.

Mr. Chandrakar refutes claims about the alleged extravagant expenses reported by certain sources. He specifically indicates that all financial aspects of the event were overseen by professional event managers, and no cash transactions were involved at any stage of the planning or execution; to insinuate otherwise is purely speculative and unfounded. Documents and financial records are available to substantiate these facts, providing clear evidence that dispels any notions of impropriety.

Furthermore, Mr. Chandrakar firmly believes that the mention of celebrities at the event was grossly exaggerated. He indicates that all those who attended the wedding were engaged by the event management company, which facilitated their attendance. Mr. Chandrakar is also keen to emphasize that all artists were hired by the company exclusively to attend and perform at the event. There were no direct financial transactions between Mr. Chandrakar and these celebrities, as all payments were processed in complete transparency through the event management company, via legal banking channels.

Mr. Chandrakar strongly asserts no association with the Mahadev App or its operations. Accusations depicting him as the “Founder/Promoter/Director” of the Mahadev App lack credibility and are unequivocally false. Additionally, claims about his involvement in 60 illicit offshore platforms are baseless and entirely unsubstantiated.

Mr. Chandrakar vehemently denies any suspicious connections with individuals or organisations that participate in unlawful activities. Any similar allegations are merely rumours, completely baseless, and nothing more than ‘a figment of imagination.’ He strongly expresses astonishment at such allegations.

It is also imperative to clarify that there are no operations in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, or Nepal associated with Mr. Chandrakar. Such claims are entirely false and defamatory, lacking any shred of truth. Mr. Chandrakar has never travelled to these countries, and any claims of his alleged participation in illicit activities in these regions lack any foundation and completely slanderous.

Mr. Chandrakar earnestly urges media outlets to cease spreading unfounded rumours and sensationalized and exaggerated stories that not only tarnish his reputation but also erode public trust in responsible journalism.

Fishing industry significant to the economy: Klazen

WINDHOEK: Fisheries and Marine Resources Minister Derek Klazen said the fisheries sector remains one of the significant contributors to economic growth, employment creation, nutrition, and foreign exchange earnings.

Klazen said here on Monday that the industry further provides additional support to State revenue through taxes and levies, including the Marine Resources Fund, by-catch fees, and observer levies.

The Namibia Statistics Agency last year recorded that the fishing industry was worth over N.dollars 20 billion and directly employed about 18 000 people, while contributing 4.5 per cent and representing over 14 per cent of export earnings.

“The success of the fishing sector is owed to the financial investment that we continuously make in resource surveys, as well as environmental and coastal biodiversity surveys,” Klazen said.

These surveys are important for the ministry in order to determine the level of biomass of the species and set the total allowable catch for the commercially exploited fisheries.

“Data collected under these activities is critical to the management of our resources and the conservation of our marine ecosystem,” he added during a briefing providing updates on the ministry’s programmes.

Klazen said his ministry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, Industrial Relations and Employment Creation, is implementing the Government Employment Redressing Programme to support and maintain permanent employment within the fishing sector.

“To date, about 1 220 workers are employed under this programme. In order to ensure that the ministry and the fishing industry are working towards a common goal, the ministry conducts annual industry consultation meetings to discuss pertinent issues affecting the sector and reach consensus for sustainable fisheries management,” he said.

The minister added that an inter-ministerial committee is expected to finalise the Blue Economy Policy during this financial year.

“The Blue Economy Policy, once implemented, will enhance an effective governance and management system that sustainably maximises economic benefits from marine resources and ensure equitable marine wealth distribution to all Namibians,” he said.

MTC to fork out N.dollars 12.5 million for investments

WINDHOEK: Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) on Monday announced that it will fork out N.dollars 12.5 million for the financial year 2023/2024 towards corporate social investment projects around the country.

A statement issued by MTC on Monday said the investment will support new and continuing initiatives, cutting across projects in education, health, poverty alleviation, support for orphaned and vulnerable children, small and medium enterprises development and job creation, and the environment.

“This announcement will deposit continued support in areas such as land delivery and the early childhood development projects by partners development workshop Namibia, the national internship project and the MTC rural schools project that thus far made an impact in eight regions in a span of three years,” the statement read.

MTC’s Chief Human Capital, Corporate Affairs and Marketing Officer, Tim Ekandjo, noted that as a good corporate citizen of Namibia, MTC considers its responsibility to invest in the community. MTC stakeholders include not only customers, employees, shareholders, the government, regulators, and suppliers, but also very importantly, communities.

“MTC plays a significant role in the country’s economy and the lives of most Namibians who support our business by buying our products and services. It is only right that we give back,” he added.

Speaking on behalf of the Vision Restoration initiative, Dr Helena Ndume noted that the donation demonstrates that MTC really cares for the communities they operate in. She said the state-of-the-art assistance means communities are now able to get assistance without paying thousands of dollars at private practices, and that is very commendable, Ndume said.
