Luxury cars of suspects in corruption related to the State Property Fund of Ukraine arrested in Austria

Austrian law enforcement officers arrested a number of luxury cars belonging to members of a criminal organization linked to large-scale corruption schemes in the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPF). Among the suspects is the ex-head of the FSMU, Dmytro Sennychenko, whom the investigation considers the organizer of the events.

Austrian law enforcement officers arrested premium class cars used by suspects in corruption crimes related to the activities of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPF).

This was reported to NABU.

According to information released by law enforcement agencies, this decision was implemented within the framework of the resolution of the Higher Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine.

Earlier, as part of the investigation of the same case, French law enforcement officers seized real estate belonging to members of a criminal organization with a total value of almost 6.5 million euros. Currently, measures are being taken to establish other property of the suspects, as well as their search and extradition.

The essence of the matter

According to NABU and SAP, the criminal organization consisted of ten people, including:

  • Dmytro Sennychenko, the former head of the FSMU, whom the investigation considers to be the organizer;
  • his advisor;
  • two acting directors of JSC "Odesa Port Plant" (OPZ);
  • Acting head of JSC "United Mining and Chemical Company" (OGHC);
  • two owners of the winning company at the OPZ auction;
  • two natural persons who were complicit in the crime.

The organization was exposed in corruption schemes involving two large state-owned enterprises: the Odesa Port Plant and the United Mining and Chemical Company.

In 2020-2021, Sennychenko, through loyal members of the supervisory board, succeeded in appointing the head of OPZ, which concluded unprofitable contracts with controlled companies. Due to these actions, the plant did not receive more than 300 million hryvnias.

Similar schemes operated at OGHC: the manager, appointed at the behest of Sennichenko, sold titanium-containing raw materials through a controlled company at discounted prices, and the goods were resold at market prices.

Law enforcement officers are continuing the investigation and working on the extradition of the suspects. Seizure of assets abroad is part of international cooperation to return stolen funds to the state budget of Ukraine.
