Perpetrators of criminal actions regarding the employees of JSC “United Mining and Chemical Company” will be criminally liable
On May 19, 2020 a car of the Head of the Department of Economics and Finance Kyrychenko O.M. was burned down.
On the fact of arson, the criminal proceedings under part 2 of art 194 (" Willful destruction or damage of property") of the Criminal Code of Ukraine were initiated by Holosiivskyi Rayon Administration of the Head Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The maximum sanction provides imprisonment for a term of ten years.
It’s not the first case of criminal actions regarding the employees of UMCC, associated to their professional activity. On the night of 16 to 17 May, 2020 unknown persons committed illegal intrusion to the house of the Member of the Board of “UMCC” Kyiashko Y.V., who is in charge of company’s finances, and stole laptop and work documents.
The new management of UMCC sees the intruders’ actions as continuation of intentions to regain control over company by oligarchic groups at all costs. On May 19, 2020 the Board of JSC “United Mining and Chemical Company” was updated as a continuation of the policy of the staff and finance improvement and preparation for its privatization. Any attempts to influence the enterprise’s functioning will meet firm response.
“Attempts of oligarchic groups to regain control over the enterprise are doomed to failure. UMCC has lost the “feeder” status for businessmen who was washing out the company’s financial resources for the last years. There is no alternative to the strategic course, focused on the corruption schemes elimination and the UMCC privatization.
Intruders implicated in our employee’s car burning, will certainly be prosecuted. We keep this case on personal control and will provide all necessary legal support to the affected person” – the acting Chairman of the Board of UMCC Peter Davis stated.
*All information concerning the activities of JSC “UMCC” temporarily will be published on the State Property Fund of Ukraine’s official website since access to the company’s website and its official Facebook page is blocked by former management.
