From Raids to Controlled Bankruptcy: How the Suprunenko Brothers' Orbit Is Extracting Assets from the Brovary Aluminum Plant

From Raids to Controlled Bankruptcy: How the Suprunenko Brothers' Orbit Is Extracting Assets from the Brovary Aluminum Plant

The former Brovary Aluminum Plant changed its address and name and ended up in a bankruptcy case within three months. The creditor who initiated the process has a manager from the same business orbit as the Suprunenko brothers.

All of this is taking place against the backdrop of BEB raids in July.

29 in May, LLC “Brovarskyi Aluminiievyi Zavod” moved its legal address from Brovary (Nezalezhnosti Boulevard, 30/1) to Korosten (B. Khmelnytskyi Street, 18).

3 in August the company was renamed LLC “Profkhimtreyd.” After the relocation, jurisdiction over the future bankruptcy case transferred to Zhytomyr region.

5 in June, a week after the address change, bankruptcy trustee Ihor Harashchenko filed an application to participate in the forthcoming case. 4 in August LLC “Vermont Invest” filed a petition to open insolvency proceedings against “Profkhimtreyd.” The next day the document was received by the court, and 13 in August it was accepted for consideration. Creditor claims in the case materials exceed 9 million UAH. The court did not record debts for taxes, fees, or wages.

Since May 2025, the director of “Vermont Invest” has been Mykhailo Pirotskyi. He is also the beneficiary of LLC “Budpromekspluatatsiya,” which analytics systems classify as part of the Suprunenkos’ corporate group. The sole participant of the debtor is the Cypriot company ALUMETA LTD (100%). Kyiv City Council deputy Roman Yaroshenko declared rights in another Cypriot entity — ALUMETA GROUP LTD. Both companies are registered in Limassol.

The metallurgical site in Brovary itself belongs to LLC “BRAZ” and LLC “ALTEG.” In both companies the ultimate beneficiary is Yaroshenko. Co-owner of “BRAZ” is Vyacheslav Suprunenko. Thus, the bankruptcy was initiated by a company whose manager is in the same business orbit as the debtor.

At the beginning of July 2026 the BEB conducted searches at the “ALTEG” and “BRAZ” plants over two days. Economic Pravda, citing sources, named among the likely organizers of the scheme Yaroshenko, former deputy Andriy Zayets, and Vyacheslav and Oleksandr Suprunenko. According to the same sources, the network may have been used for sham transactions, trading unrecorded scrap, and siphoning funds through Asvio Bank. The budget loss estimate from underreported taxes alone exceeds 32,4 million UAH. Other reports about the same raids mention 8,9 million UAH in property tax, 23,5 million UAH in VAT, 39 million UAH in unrecorded scrap, and 286 million UAH in other unrecorded goods.

Documents do not confirm a link between the tax proceeding and the bankruptcy of “Profkhimtreyd.” However, the timing overlap is obvious: raids, address change, renaming, a petition from an affiliated creditor, and transfer of the case to another court. The question remains open where the company’s debt of 9 million UAH came from if, according to court materials, it has no arrears to the budget either in taxes or in wages.
