On March 13, the grain terminal "Borivation" was transferred to the ARMA administration by court decision. This was made possible by the investigation of the Ukrainian Economic Security Bureau, which revealed the illegal transfer of the terminal in 2016. Former PrivatBank topsmen, including Vladimir Yatsenko, as well as non-resident founders of legal entities, representatives of the Ministry of Justice and the judge, were in the center of the case. New suspicions and arrests are expected.
The investigation found that the terminal, which was in the pledge of the National Bank of Ukraine, was transferred to LLC “Agro -Terminal Logistics” illegally. The court order states that the officials of "Boriva" acted in conspiracy with officials "Agro -Terminal Logistics", "Privatbank" and other unidentified persons. This made it possible for former owners and management of PrivatBank to seize an asset and avoid responsibility to the State Bank.
The key role in the scheme was played by Vladimir Yatsenko, who at that time was the deputy chairman of the Board of Privatbank. It was he who organized the legal design of the scheme, which allowed in September 2016 to transfer the port "Boriva" from the debtor "Privatbank" to the new company - "Agro -Terminal Logistics". As a pledge, the bank received not a real asset, but only corporate rights to a new company, which in fact meant the loss of control over the port.
This scheme allowed the former management of the bank to use the port later for its own benefit, leaving the state PrivatBank without security. For nine years, the situation has remained without the proper attention of law enforcement agencies, but now Bab is investigating and establishing all those involved.
According to the investigation, among the persons involved in the case - Volodymyr Yatsenko, other representatives of the former management of PrivatBank, the founders of offshore companies used for equipment, as well as members of the Central College of the Ministry of Justice and two judges, one of whom is currently outside Ukraine.
This case is a continuation of a large -scale investigation into theft in Privatbank before its nationalization. In 2016, under the leadership of Yatsenko, almost UAH 6 billion was withdrawn from the bank. Some of these funds, as it follows from the court order, was washed through the Jewish community of Ukraine.
