Raid by the SIB, a new name, and bankruptcy: how the Suprunenko brothers are saving the Brovary Aluminum Plant

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

All of this is happening against the backdrop of July raids by the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI).

5 in June, a week after the address change, the arbitration manager Ihor Harashchenko filed a statement of participation in the upcoming case. 4 In August, LLC “Vermont Invest” filed a petition to initiate proceedings in the bankruptcy case of “Profhimtrade.” The next day the document arrived at the court, and 13 in August it was admitted for consideration. The creditor debt in the case materials exceeds 9 million UAH. The court did not record debts for taxes, fees, or wages.

Since May 2025 year the head of “Vermont Invest” is Mykhailo Pirotskyi. He is also the beneficiary of LLC “Budpromexplotatsiya,” which analytical systems attribute to the Suprunenko corporate group. The sole participant in the debtor is the Cypriot company ALUMETA LTD (100%). Kyiv City Council deputy Roman Yaroshko declared rights in another Cypriot structure — ALUMETA GROUP LTD. Both companies are registered in Limassol.

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

At the beginning of July 2026 the SBI conducted raids over two days at the plants of “ALTEG” and “BRAZ.” Economy Truth, citing sources, named among possible organizers Yaroshko, former deputy Andriy Zaitsev, Vyacheslav and Oleksandr Suprunenko. According to the same data, the network could have been used for fictitious operations, trade of unaccounted scrap, and transferring funds through “Asvio Bank.” The estimated budget losses from tax underreporting alone exceed 32,4 million UAH. In other publications about the same raids, amounts of 8,9 million UAH of property tax, 23,5 million UAH VAT, 39 million UAH unaccounted scrap, and 286 million UAH of other untaxed goods appear.

The link between the tax proceedings and the bankruptcy of “Profhimtrade” is not confirmed by documents. However, the timing coincidence is obvious: raids, address changes, name changes, a claim from a “own” creditor, and the transfer of the case to another court. The open question remains: where did the company get a debt of 9 million UAH if court materials show it has no debts to the budget in taxes or wages.
