Revenge for de-oligarchization? A publication about the case of former State Property Fund head Dmytro Sennichenko again raises questions about a possible commissioned nature of the prosecution — expert
Mykhailo Shnaider describes circumstances that could have linked the investigation to a struggle for control over state-owned enterprises.
The article discusses a memorandum dated 14 June 2021 regarding establishing control over the business processes of OPZ and OGHK and the allocation of future revenues. Does this document indicate agreements to seize control of state-owned enterprises?
According to materials cited by Shnaider, the initial proceeding began with a statement by Oleksandr Dubinsky, which the publication links to the interests of Ukrnaftoburinnya. Suspilne reported that Ihor Kolomoisky was a co-owner of the company through an offshore structure.
A separate storyline is the alleged foreign coordination of Bairak. According to Shnaider’s publication, the case materials contain information about the coordination of his actions by foreign nationals. Who gave the orders, in whose interests, and how is this connected to the memorandum?
Already in 2023, lawyer Bohdan Ustymenko, whose position was published by RBC-Ukraine, linked the prosecution of Sennichenko to a reduction of Firtash’s influence over state enterprises and called Bairak a manager of his structures. Did the fight against oligarchic influence become the reason for persecuting those who carried it out?
