Oleksiy Martynov, a former member of PrivatBank’s Supervisory Board, has appealed to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the government regarding the sale of the Borivazh port scheduled for December 23, 2024. The businessman published a public appeal online, according to Komersant ukrainskyi.
“In recent months, the media have been widely covering the scandal with the sale of loans issued before the nationalization of PJSC CB PrivatBank in favor of BORIVAZH LLC totaling more than $5 billion, of which it is believed that BORIVAZH LLC is the owner of the grain terminal in the port of Pivdennyi, which is critically important for Ukraine and is pledged to the bank,”
– the statement reads.
Martynov notes that the terminal is owned by Kolomoisky and Boholyubov, and its market value exceeds UAH 15 billion. According to him:
“For more than 6 years now, officials of PJSC CB “PrivatBank” and the lawyers they have engaged have not taken the necessary measures to foreclose on the grain terminal and it has been working for Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov.B. and officials of PJSC CB “PrivatBank” developed and implemented a scheme to seize the grain terminal without full repayment of loans, as a result of which the state will suffer losses of at least UAH 3 billion.”
“PrivatBank plans to sell the loans to Borivazh for UAH 2 billion, which Martynov claims is a low price. Although the HACC ordered the NABU to open a criminal case, and the Shevchenkivsky District Court banned the sale of the loans, the bank still continues to register bidders for the auction. As Martynov notes,
“…bank officials continue the auction by registering new bidders. Despite the court injunctions and criminal cases, the officials have neither stopped nor canceled the auction to date.”
This situation has arisen with complete disregard for the state authorities, and its beneficiaries are the former owners of PrivatBank, who are trying to get an asset worth UAH 13 billion out of harm’s way for UAH 2 billion, Martynov said.
To resolve the situation, the businessman calls for the asset to be transferred to the state, namely the Asset Recovery and Management Agency.
