Between November 2019 and March 2020, the head of the Foundation created a criminal organization. Its goal was to establish control over the most important objects of management of the State Property Fund in the mining, processing, fuel and energy and other sectors of the state economy.
In particular, Sennichenko ensured the appointment of persons under his control to the management bodies of JSC OPZ to seize the funds of JSC OPZ by establishing contractual relations between the OPZ and a company controlled by a criminal organization on a non-competitive basis for processing raw materials to be supplied at reduced prices.
In particular, as a result of such actions, for the period from May 2020 to October 2021, OPP JSC lost financial resources and incurred losses in the amount of UAH 390,970,234.
Now the suspects face up to twelve years with confiscation of property.
