Criminal organisation in the State Property Fund: losses to the Odesa Port Plant and UMCC of over UAH 700 million and laundering of over UAH 10 billion

According to NABU and SAPO, in 2019–2021 a criminal organisation headed by the then Head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine ensured the appointment of loyal managers at JSC «Odesa Port Plant» and JSC «United Mining and Chemical Company», after which the Odesa Port Plant extended unfavourable gas processing agreements with a controlled LLC (over UAH 600 million not received), and UMCC sold ilmenite concentrate at understated prices to a Czech company (losses of over UAH 111 million). Total losses are over UAH 700 million (in NABU's early 2023 statements, over UAH 400–500 million); the participants are also charged with laundering property worth over UAH 10 billion (this is the amount cited in the Bihus.Info report). NABU does not name the persons; the names of those involved are given by Bihus.Info journalists. Suspicions were served on 22.03.2023 and updated on 24.11.2023; the investigation was completed on 04.10.2024; on 04.09.2026 NABU reported that the case had been sent to court. Most of the defendants have left Ukraine and are on the wanted list. There is no verdict; the persons are presumed innocent until a verdict enters into force.
