Groza Serhii Mykolaiovych

Corporate Coup at GNT Group in Odessa Style

According to antikor.info, a corporate conflict occurred at Odessa's GNT Group, as a result of which the founder Naumenko risks being left outside his own business. Serhii Groza is one of the key figures in this asset redistribution scheme. A typical Odessa scheme: the business is built over years, and then "partners" take it away through corporate manipulations.

Registration Manipulations and Change of Ownership Structure

The takeover mechanism is through changes in corporate documents, re-registration of shares, and introducing new "shareholders" without the knowledge of the real owner. Registrars, notaries, and front persons are the standard set of Odessa corporate raiding. While the owner is on a business trip — the business is already someone else's.

Odessa as a Hub of Corporate Raiding

GNT Group is not the first nor the last Odessa business to fall victim to corporate takeover. Odessa has developed a stable raiding ecosystem: notaries, registrars, lawyers, and "fixers" work as a unified team. Local courts and law enforcement agencies are part of this system or do not interfere with it.

Naumenko Against the System

The company founder faces a choice: spend years in courts or agree to the conditions of those who seized the business. Anti-corruption media have drawn attention to the case — but press attention is often insufficient when the other side consists of people with administrative resources and local connections.
