Recall
Since 2017, former SFS head Roman Nasirov has been accused of causing over UAH 2 billion in damages to the state by making a series of unfounded and illegal decisions to defer rent payments for subsoil use to companies involved in the so-called "gas scheme," which is believed to have been organized by former People's Deputy Oleksandr Onyshchenko.
Nasirov is also a defendant in a case involving a bribe of UAH 722 million. According to the investigation, the former head of the SFS of Ukraine, through his advisor, received over UAH 722 million in undue benefits for actions related to ensuring VAT refunds to an agricultural holding of over UAH 3.2 billion.
The provision of undue benefits in foreign currency (USD 5.5 million and EUR 21 million), as reported, occurred using a number of companies registered abroad, which belonged to Oleg Bakhmatyuk, the owner of the "Ukrlandfarming" agricultural holding.
