The Appellate Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court partially satisfied the petition of representatives of three factories and businessman Ihor Kolomoiskyi. The court decided to cancel the seizure of part of the assets, after reviewing the decisions of July 14 and 16, which blocked the shares of three companies. About this informs Transparency International.
In particular, it is about 10.29% of the corporate rights of JSC “Zaporizhsky Ferroalloy Plant” — 24.45 million shares and the same share in the property of the enterprise; 24.75% of the corporate rights of JSC Nikopol Ferroalloy Plant — 384.6 million shares and a corresponding share in the property; as well as 24.28% of the corporate rights of Pokrovsky GZK JSC — 178.7 million shares.
The arrest was made with a view to possible future confiscation. The prosecutor claimed that these shares, according to the register data, indirectly belong to Ihor Kolomoiskyi.
Representatives of the Zaporizhzhya and Nikopol factories insisted that at the time of the arrest, Kolomoiskyi was no longer among the beneficiaries, and the changes in ownership became known on July 15. Representatives of “Pokrovsky GZK” noted that this company is not a participant in criminal proceedings at all.
The prosecutor objected, stressing that the entries in the register confirm the businessman’s corporate rights. He asked to leave the seizure in force, so that the authorized capital was not a formal “paper” property, but actually guaranteed the preservation of assets.
We will remind, the former owner of “PrivatBank” Igor Kolomoiskyi is suspected of embezzling 9.2 billion hryvnias from the financial institution together with his accomplices under the guise of “rehabilitating” the bank.
