Instead of selling, the former shareholder and member of the supervisory board of PrivatBank Alexey Martynov proposed to transfer the expensive grain terminal to the management of ARMA.
Former shareholder and member of the supervisory board of PrivatBank Alexey Martynov appealed to President Vladimir Zelensky and the Cabinet of Ministers about the sale of the Borivage port in the Odessa region, which may take place on December 23, reports RBC-Ukraine, citing a public appeal by lawyer Alexey Martynov to government officials.
“In recent months, the media has widely covered the scandal of the sale of loans issued before the nationalization of PJSC CB PrivatBank in favor of Borivazh LLC for a total amount of more than $ 5 billion, which establishes that Borivazh LLC is the owner of a grain terminal critical for Ukraine in the port of Pivdenny, who promised the bank,” said the appeal.
According to the businessman, the official beneficiaries and owners of the grain terminal are Igor Kolomoisky and Gennady Bogolyubov. And its market value is at least 15 billion UAH.
“For more than six years, the officials of PJSC CB PrivatBank and the lawyers they hired did not take the necessary steps to foreclose the grain terminal and it was working for Kolomoisky IV and Bogolyubov GB developed and implemented a scheme to take over a grain terminal without full repayment of loans, which will result in losses to the state at least UAH 3 billion,” said Martynov.
In addition, PrivatBank has put up for sale loans from the port of Borivage and can sell them at a reduced price of UAH 2 billion.
The appeal states that on December 18, the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine ordered NABU to initiate a criminal case in this matter. Also, by a resolution of the Shevchenko District Court dated December 18, PrivatBank is prohibited from taking actions to sell loans to Borivazh LLC.
“However, bank officials continued the auction, registering new participants in it despite court orders and criminal charges, the officials did not stop or cancel the auction,” added Alexey Martynov.
In his opinion, the former owners of PrivatBank have created artificial obstacles and are trying to remove an asset worth UAH 13 billion from under attack for UAH 2 billion.
“I believe it would be advisable to transfer this asset to ARMA, as happened with other GB assets – summary of the businessman.
Earlier, Gennady Bogolyubov was placed on the wanted list. The co-founder of PrivatBank left Ukraine using the passport of a pensioner from Volyn.
It was also reported that Kyiv’s Northern Economic Court of Appeal confirmed the impossibility of returning PrivatBank to its former owners.
