Businessman Kiperman was served a new suspicion notice: misappropriation of petroleum products
NABU and SAP reported suspicion of businessman Mykhailo Kiperman for misappropriation of PJSC Ukrnafta’s petroleum products and legalization of proceeds from their sale. A suspicion notice was also served to former chairman of the management board of NPK-Halychyna Bohdan Baradnyi, co-owner of Rozhniativnafta LLC Yevhen Krychevskyi, and former vice president of PJSC Ukrnafta Felix Lunyov.
According to the investigation, the heads of the business group devised and implemented a scheme to misappropriate 100 thousand tonnes of petroleum products worth more than 2,88 billion UAH. Initially, the petroleum products were transferred to a controlled company under commission agreements. Later, part of them was shifted to other related firms for retail and wholesale sale through a network of filling stations. The funds received from the sales were transferred to the benefit of controlled companies, including abroad.
A complex network of offshore companies in Cyprus, Belize, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the British Virgin Islands was used to conceal the ultimate owners (members of the business group).
