⚖️ The owner and manager of the large supplier “Ukravtonomgaz,” Andriy Serhiyovych Dorofeyev, has been finally found guilty in a criminal case
The Cassation Court left unchanged the verdict of the Darnytskyi District Court of Kyiv regarding the director of LLC “Ukravtonomgaz,” Andriy Serhiyovych Dorofeyev.
The panel of judges rejected the defense attorney’s appeals and confirmed Dorofeyev’s guilt in committing the criminal offense under part 4 of article 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — use of a knowingly forged document.
Under the operative ruling of the trial court dated 18 October 2022, Dorofeyev was found guilty and sentenced to two months’ arrest. At the same time, he was exempted from serving that sentence pursuant to item 2 of part 1 of article 49 and part 5 of article 74 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine due to expiration of the statute of limitations.
The court found that in March 2017 Dorofeyev, while holding the position of director of LLC “Ukravtonomgaz” (EDRPOU code 39082735), applied to the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate (DABI) with an application for a license to construct facilities of complexity categories IV and V. He attached to the application a knowingly forged official document — information about the production and technical base, staff composition, production technology, and the existing quality control system for the performance of works.
This document contained false information about the existence of agreements with laboratories, in particular:
✔️ with the Testing Laboratory of the E.O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine;
✔️ with the Testing Center for Building Materials and Products of the State Enterprise “Research Institute of Building Materials and Constructions” (NDiBMV);
✔️ with the Testing Laboratory of LLC “Ukrstandart-Plus”;
✔️ with the Testing Center of the State Enterprise “State Research Institute of Building Structures.”
On the basis of the submitted documents, the company received a license valid from 29 March 2017 until 29 March 2022.
The defense insisted on overturning the verdict and closing the criminal proceedings, citing lack of proven guilt and alleged inadmissibility of evidence due to a violation in the procedure for assigning the group of prosecutors. The appellate court rejected these arguments. The panel confirmed that the resolution changing the group of prosecutors is present in the case materials, the indictment was approved by an authorized person, and the evidence collected by the prosecution is proper and admissible.
Dorofeyev is still conducting business in Ukraine and in the EU, and it is not certain that he is honest.
