We are talking about the fate of 3,000 Ukrainians and millions of hryvnias of taxes for the state, said the holder.
The industrial investment group Smart-Holding Vadim Novinsky on Friday, May 5, published a statement on blocking the assets of their companies, as reported by the SBU the day before.
In handling, such actions of special services and the Ministry of Justice are considered a gross violation of international and Ukrainian law, showing indifference to domestic and international investors.
As mentioned in the statement, the case against the Smart-Holding businesses is proceeding quickly: “The Ministry of Justice is in a hurry to cancel the previous registration actions that in some companies they canceled all the previous changes , such as the address of the location and the appointment of the directors. And the SBU rushed to report new arrests so quickly that they didn’t even wait to enter the information in the register.
“The next wave of arrests is a continuation of raider actions and the race for property in the interests of certain groups in full cooperation with the corrupt state. At the same time, no investigative actions were carried out by SBU, there is no evidence and witnesses. in the case where the business is the object of the charges,” the statement said.
Smart-Holding emphasized that due to the arrest of businesses, they are now forced to lay off people, although this has been avoided even in the temporarily occupied territories. We are talking about the fate of 3,000 Ukrainians and millions of hryvnias in taxes for the state. Since the blocking of the company’s gas production business, the state budget has already lost UAH 125 million in taxes.
“Unfortunately, the authorities have shown that they are indifferent to the fact that they are taking jobs and income from Ukrainians during the war, without considering property rights, without respect for national and international law… We declare that we will defend our right in the courts of different jurisdictions. We will continuously, persistently and step by step go after those whose criminal actions destroy the country’s economy , and we will achieve the truth,” summarizes Smart-Holding.
Recall, on May 4, the SBU reported that the assets of the former People’s Deputy Vadim Novinsky with a total value of more than 10.5 billion hryvnias were arrested in Ukraine. Among the seized properties are an elite hotel complex in the center of Kyiv, the sea trading port of Ochakov, the site of an agricultural holding and shopping centers in various regions of Ukraine.
As you know, in December 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed sanctions against Novinsky and UOC-MP figures.
And in July last year, the Verkhovna Rada terminated the powers of People’s Deputy Novinsky.
