The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office prosecutor has decided to complete the pre-trial investigation into the case against the owner of an international grain trader.
He is suspected of organizing a scheme to illegally seize grain from PJSC “State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine”,the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office said.
Currently, NABU detectives have opened the case materials to the defense for review.
Recall that in July-October 2014, State Food and Grain Corporation officials, together with a representative of an international grain trader, organized the sale of grain at undervalued prices to controlled enterprises.
The grain was delivered to Saudi Arabia on a cash-on-delivery basis through a number of intermediaries, but the money for it was never paid.
As a result, the state grain corporation suffered losses in the amount of more than $60 million. Part of these funds, namely $40.9 million, was legalized by the criminals through foreign companies registered in Cyprus.
In total, six people are involved in the criminal scheme. The court has convicted three former representatives of PJSC “State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine” and the owner of a foreign company. The case of another representative of a grain trader is being heard in court.
Earlier, USM reported that the court had taken suspects in the State Food and Grain Corporation case into custody.
