The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court has upheld the claim of the Ministry of Justice to transfer VinnytsiaBudkhim PJSC, owned by Russian oligarch Viktor Kononov, to Ukraine's revenue. UNN reports this with reference to the SBU press service.

Details

This means transferring 100% of the company's shares, as well as all its bank accounts, industrial facilities, transportation and real estate to the state.

According to the materials of the proceedings, VinnytsiaPobutkhim  produced cosmetic products and household chemicals of such brands as "Ushastyi Nian", "Mister Chister", "Sarma", etc.

The total value of the nationalized assets of Ukraine's leading household chemicals producer is reportedly over UAH 2 billion.

It was established that Kononov is the CEO and one of the beneficial owners of the sanctioned company Nevskaya Kosmetika, which owned the assets of the Vinnytsia enterprise.

The Russian billionaire is a public supporter of the war against Ukraine and one of the key "donors" to the budget of the aggressor country. In order to hide the products of the Vinnytsia branch from nationalization, Kononov's top management tried to take them out of Ukraine as humanitarian cargo

- the SBU said.

Law enforcement officers uncovered the fraud and blocked it in July 2022.

An investigation is currently underway under three articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

  • ч. 2 of Art. 364-1 (abuse of power by an official of a legal entity of private law regardless of its organizational and legal form);
  •  Art. 388(1) (unlawful actions in relation to seized property, pledged property or property that is described or subject to confiscation);
  • ч. 1 Art. 445 (illegal use of the symbols of the Red Cross, Red Crescent, Red Crystal).
