More than 774 million hryvnias owed to Ukrgasbank: how Vasyl Astion’s agro-empire extracted state funds by pledging air as collateral
The state #Укргазбанк is attempting to recover, through the Commercial Court of the Dnipropetrovsk Region in case No. 904/4961/26, more than 774 million hryvnias in debts from former Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council deputy Vasyl #Астіон, who acted as a personal guarantor for loans to a number of agricultural companies.
The Central Appellate Commercial Court has already imposed an arrest on the debtor’s property, including houses, luxury Range Rover and Skoda vehicles, and corporate rights in companies such as Kompleks #Агромарс, Havrylivka Poultry Farm, Kyivkombikorm Plant, and Dnipro Granite.
📌The problematic loan agreement No. 111/2022/DnOD-KB-HKD for the amount of 450 million hryvnias was concluded on 11 April 2022 with LLC Agricultural Firm Skhid Agro and LLC Peremoga, facilitated by former NBU officials Shevchenko and Ukrgasbank’s Chernyshov. Brother Yevhen Astion and former Deputy Head of the President’s Office Andriy #Смирнов are also involved in this scheme through the Genesis Capital fund and offshore structures.
At that time, thousands of tons of grain and sunflower seeds at the elevator of LLC Synelnykove-Agro were formally used as collateral for the loan; however, duplicate warehouse certificates were absent, and the actual existence of the assets was not verified, which turned the millions issued into a hopeless debt.
✅In response to this robbery, our public organization filed official complaints and requests with law enforcement demanding searches, verification of remaining grain at the elevators, and a full criminal-legal assessment of the actions of all participants in this fraud. And as we can see — this time law enforcement has finally stood on the side of justice.
