TOKYO, Dec 16 (Reuters) - Rosneft Chief Executive Igor Sechin said on Friday that his firm had received funds from the sale of a 19.5 percent stake in the company to the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and commodities trader Glencore.

The money was in the process of being transferred to Russia's state budget, Sechin said.
