United Co. Rusal Deputy Chief Executive Officer Maxim Sokov is seeking a review of OAO GMK Norilsk Nickel’s planned sale of an 8 percent stake to Trafigura Beheer BV by the nickel company’s auditors, according to a letter obtained by Bloomberg News.

KPMG LLP, Norilsk’s auditors, should report their findings to the Moscow-based producer’s audit committee, Sokov wrote in the letter to John Holden, chairman of the committee and an independent non-executive director.
