Businessman Sergey Tyshchenko wants to negotiate with the Specialized Anti -Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAP) on the plea.
According to Lb.ua, the losses under the agreement make up a fifth of the state – about UAH 1 billion.
On August 26, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court (VAKS) began the consideration of this Agreement in the case of theft of arrested oil products of the fugitive businessman Sergey Kurchenko for the amount of about UAH 817 million. The meeting is held in closed mode to keep the secret and security of the participants in the process.
Previously, the court softened the measure of restraint for Tishchenko – instead of house arrest he is under his personal obligation.
The investigation claims that Tishchenko, together with his former MP Sergei Pashinsky in 2014–2015, seized almost 100,000 tons of Kurchenko’s petroleum products, which after the confiscation had to replenish the state budget. According to NABU and the SAP, the funds from their sale were included in companies related to Tishchenko.
The scheme included Volodymyr Gavrilov, the head of Ukrtransnaftoptoproduct, the sale of petroleum products through Ukroilproduct with significant discounts and transferring funds through Fortuna-Bank, which belonged to Tishchenko. The total losses of the state are estimated at more than UAH 400 million.
The scheme, according to the investigation, could be involved in Tyshchenko’s ex -Olena, who owned assets in the United Kingdom and France.
Despite being in custody, the businessman continued to control part of the business through IP telephony and family ties, and the key assets reissued his mother-Motron Tishchenko. It formally owns Fortuna-Bank, Factor Orbits and other assets, including enterprises that performed state defense contracts.
Tishchenko is charged with complicity in crime, appropriation and distortion of property through abuse of office and creation of a criminal organization.
