Dmytro Sennychenko is a suspect in the EBK database.
As a reminder, NABU and SAPO reported in absentia the suspicion of the former head of the State Property Fund Dmytro Sennychenko in the creation and leadership of a criminal organization. In addition to him, 8 more people were suspected. Later, the suspicions were renewed for him and other defendants.
According to the investigation, the former head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Sennychenko, and other individuals committed two episodes of criminal activity. The first was related to corruption at the Odessa Port Plant (99.56% of the shares belong to the state). According to the investigation, in early 2020, the head of the State Property Fund achieved the election of “loyal” members of the supervisory board of the OPP, who later agreed to appoint a member of a criminal organization as the director of the plant. According to the plant’s scheme, from May 2020 to October 2021, the OPP lost more than UAH 600 million.
The second episode concerned the OGHC. NABU and SAP established that in October 2020, the organizer of the ZO achieved the appointment of a “loyal” acting director of the OGHC. He, for his part, in accordance with instructions “from above” during 2020-2021 on behalf of the state-owned enterprise, deliberately concluded four contracts for the sale of titanium-containing raw materials (ilmenite concentrate) with a Czech company controlled by the advisor to the head of the SPFU at low prices. This product was then resold at market prices. As the investigation established, the ilmenite concentrate was supplied to enterprises of the Russian Federation and to the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea. This led to losses to the state of more than UAH 111 million.
We previously reported that the yacht of the former head of the State Property Fund Sennychenko was arrested in Italy.
