The SBI suspects the former head of the state-owned ammonia pipeline, due to the actions of which Ukraine lost 1.5 million US dollars

The SBI employees reported suspicion of the former head of the state monopoly enterprise for the provision of a service for the transportation of liquid ammonia with a main ammonia pipeline. He created the conditions under which the russian company sued the money from our state.

Due to his actions, Ukraine lost US $1.5 million, which the russian company sued in the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce over time.

It was established that at the end of 2016, the head of the state enterprise of Ukraine did not provide contracting authority with the fulfillment of the terms of the contract for the transit of liquid ammonia.

Subsequently, the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry sided with the russian joint-stock company and recovered more than US $1.5 million from the Ukrainian enterprise.

The Supreme Court of Ukraine agreed with this decision.

Thus, the head of the state enterprise is suspected of official negligence, that is, improper performance of his official duties due to incompatible attitude to them, which entailed grave consequences for the rights, freedoms and interests of individual legal entities protected by law (Part 2 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The sanction of the article provides for a sentence of imprisonment for up to 5 years.
