Vasyl Prodan dockered himself up
The paddle-president of JSC DAC “Ukrvydavpoligrafiya” by his actions drove the Dnipro branch into losses of 12 million hryvnias. The Commercial Court of Dnipropetrovsk region partially satisfied the claim of the Dnipro City Council against Joint Stock Company “Publishing House ‘Zorya’” (Yurii Andriiovych Barkarov, a corporate enterprise of JSC DAC “Ukrvydavpoligrafiya”).
The City Council demanded recovery of nearly 18 million hryvnias as funds that the enterprise unjustifiably retained for use of the land plots at Zurnalistiv Street, 7 in Dnipro. This concerns the period from 1 January 2021 to 25 September 2025.
On these plots (cadastral numbers 1210100000:04:018:0029, 0030 and 0031) publishing house buildings are located. The total area of the main plot is over 6 hectares.
The City Council asserted that the enterprise used communally owned land without a valid lease agreement and without registered user rights.
The publishing house objected, referring to an old state act granting the right of permanent land use dated 2000 and stating that it paid land tax and rent. The defendant also insisted that the rent rate should be applied not at 3% but at 1,3% — according to the land’s target purpose (11.02 — for industrial facilities).
The court confirmed that the publishing house’s right of permanent use of the land plots had been terminated back in 2002 by a city council decision. The lease agreement concluded that same year expired on 7 August 2017 and was not renewed.
The plots belong to the community’s communal property. The enterprise in fact used them without proper legal basis. Regarding the funds paid by the enterprise, the court noted that they were credited by the tax authority toward repayment of old tax debt and do not cover obligations for the disputed period.
The court recalculated the amount of damages taking into account the correct rate:
✔️for 2021–2022 — 3% of the normative monetary valuation;
✔️for 2023–2025 — 1,3% (according to the city council decision for land designated for industrial use).
As a result, the publishing house “Zorya” was ordered to pay:
✔️12 million hryvnias of unjustifiably retained funds;
✔️182 thousand hryvnias of court costs.
The remainder of the claims (almost 6 million hryvnias in difference) were dismissed. The decision may be appealed.
Recall that the State Bureau of Investigation is currently investigating Vasyl Prodan’s embezzlement of Ukrvydavpoligrafiya funds: up to 8 million hryvnias were siphoned monthly from the enterprises.
