Ukrburshtyn case. VAKS extended the obligations of Roman Yakymenko January, the term of the duties assigned to the former director of the state subsidiary “Ukrburshtyn” Roman Yakymenko. He, along with two other persons, is suspected of trying to take possession of UAH 58.764 million.
This decision was made by the VAKS on December 8, reports Slovo i Delo.
“To satisfy the petition. Extend in relation to the suspect (Roman Yakimenko – ed.) the period of validity of the duties assigned to him in accordance with Part 5 of Art. 194 Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine. The period of validity of the obligation imposed on the suspect is set until January 12, 2023,” the decision says.
VAKS extended Yakimenko the following duties: to arrive on demand; not to leave the city of Kyiv without permission; report a change in your place of residence and place of work; deposit the passport and refrain from communicating with other suspects, as well as witnesses.
In addition, the court extended until January 12 the same duties to the director of Land Group Company LLC Irina Shevchuk and the organizer Nikolai Yeshchenko-Petrov.
Recall, NABU and SAPO reported the suspicion to the ex-director of the State Enterprise “Ukrbushtyn” and two other persons. As the investigation established, in September 2020, Ukrburshtyn, the founder of which is the State Joint-Stock Company Ukrainian Polymetals (100% of the shares belong to the state), entered into an agreement for the safekeeping of scientific and technical documentation worth UAH 58.764 million, which was allegedly owned by LLC .
In fact, as the detectives found out, there was no documentation – the documents were forged. Later, the director of Ukrburshtyn staged their abduction, reporting this to the police. Thus, the DP formed a debt to the LLC for more than UAH 59 million. After that, the accomplices in the crime, in order to recover the debt, initiated the initiation of a bankruptcy case against Ukrburshtyn in order to subsequently recover funds through the appropriate procedure.
The investigation considers the organizer of this corruption scheme to be an individual who influenced the director of the DP. This person developed a plan to seize the funds of Ukrburshtyn, distributed roles between other participants in the crime and gradually gave instructions on the conclusion of void transactions and the recalculation of funds for actually not rendered services to the accounts of economic entities controlled by him. The bankruptcy case of DP “Ukrburshtyn” is in the Economic Court of Kyiv, but has not yet been considered. And although the suspects did not physically receive the DP funds, they performed all the actions they considered necessary for this. Which allowed the investigation to incriminate them with the organization of the completed attempt to seize the property of the Ukrburshtyn branch. NABU has been investigating these events since 2021.
