On January 11, the court, at the request of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), arrested 100% of the authorized capital of the First Kiev Machine-Building Plant (formerly the Bolshevik plant). The Russian Crimes learned about this from a report by NV with reference to the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation.
The law enforcement agency is investigating criminal proceedings against officials of the State Property Fund of Ukraine regarding possible abuses during the privatization of the Bolshevik plant on October 27 last year.
“Now the investigators of the State Bureau of Investigation are establishing all the circumstances of the illegal alienation of the specified plant from state property at a reduced cost. This caused economic damage to state interests. The examination established that the property valuation report, which was used to determine the value of the plant’s shares, does not comply with the requirements of the law. This could negatively affect the reliability of such an assessment, ”the report says.
The State Bureau of Investigation asked the court to seize 100% of the shares in order to preserve material evidence.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Part 2 of Article 364 (Abuse of Power or Official Position) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The auction for the sale of Bolshevik’s corporate rights took place on 27 October. With a starting price of UAH 1.39 billion, the enterprise was sold for UAH 1.429 billion to General Commerce LLC Vasily Khmelnitsky, Alexei Baranov and Andrey Ivanov. Two more participants – LLC Invest Novation Stepan Chernovetsky and LLC DK Kaskad Vitaliy Khomutynnik offered less.
Most applicants refused to participate in the auction due to a potential conflict with Agromil Distribution, the publication reminds.
On December 7, funds from the privatization of the Bolshevik plant entered the state budget of Ukraine.
On December 29, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine granted General Commerce LLC permission to purchase Bolshevik.
As previously reported, Mazepa named the market price of the Bolshevik plant
