The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NACB) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SACPO) have renewed the suspicion against the former head of the State Property Fund of Ukraine (SPFU), Dmytro Sennichenko. Additionally, he was served a notice of suspicion of legalization of criminally obtained income in the amount of more than UAH 95 million.

The NACB has informed about this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

The NACB and the SACPO served a notice of suspicion to one more member of the criminal organization led by the ex-head of the SPFU, whose activities led to more than UAH 700 million in losses to the state, and the exposure became one of the most high-profile cases in the history of anti-corruption bodies.

It is about the co-owner of a Czech company, to which JSC United Mining and Chemical Company sold ilmenite concentrate at discounted prices. His actions are qualified under Part 2 of Art. 255, Part 5 of Art. 27, Part 4 of Art. 28 - Part 2 of Art. 364, Part 4 of Art. 28 - Part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

In addition, eleven members of the criminal organization, who were exposed earlier, have their suspicions renewed. Therefore, they are additionally suspected of legalizing incomes obtained through criminal means, in the amount of more than UAH 95 million.

According to the investigation, the ex-head of the SPFU, together with his accomplices, appointed persons under his control as directors of JSC Odesa Portside Plant (OPP) and JSC United Mining and Chemical Company (UMCC). They concluded contracts with predetermined companies and sold products at discounted prices. The difference in value was withdrawn and converted in the interests of the criminal organization.

In total, there are already 12 suspects in the criminal proceedings.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the High Anti-Corruption Court arrested in absentia the former head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Sennichenko. The NACB has not ruled out that they will ask to extradite Sennichenko, the ex-head of the State Property Fund, to Ukraine. He fled abroad after searches at his home, using a "white military ticket".
