Ukraine has nationalized the assets of companies associated with Russian businessmen Oleg Deripaska, Yevgeny Giner, and Arkady and Igor Rotenberg. This was stated in the State Bureau of Investigation of the country.
They clarified that we are talking about “exposing dozens of companies” whose activities are subject to Ukrainian sanctions. As a result of the nationalization, the state treasury received the assets of several Russian businessmen “close to the Kremlin” worth billions of hryvnias.
Thus, the Ukrainian authorities nationalized the Glukhiv quartzite quarry and the Nikolaev alumina plant. In Kyiv, he is associated with the Russian businessman Deripaska.
As a representative of Deripaska explained to RBC, the businessman has not managed this asset for a long time: he is part of Rusal. The press service of Rusal confirmed to the publication that the plant was confiscated from the company by the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine. There, the confiscation was considered illegal and they declared the right to challenge this decision.
In addition, the Ocean Plaza shopping and entertainment center was nationalized (it is alleged that the asset with an estimated value of more than $ 350 million is affiliated with the Rotenbergs) and 88.89% of the shares of the First Investment Bank joint-stock company (associated with Giner), writes RBC. The court also arrested a 72.9% stake in Kirovogradoblenergo, seven hotels and two shopping malls worth UAH 2 billion. Now the issue of their nationalization is being considered.
