Privatbank sold loans to Borivazh LLC to a company linked to Serhiy Tigipko at the lowest price despite a court injunction and a criminal case. This was stated by Oleksiy Martynov, a former shareholder and member of the Supervisory Board of Privatbank, writes Glavcom.
As you know, Privatbank put up for sale a part of the right to claim under loan agreements to Borivaz LLC in the amount of almost UAH 3 billion 556 million, but the auction provided for a reduction in the value of the lot to UAH 2 billion.
It should be noted that in 2015, PricewaterhouseCoopers valued the Borivazh port at $340 million. Market experts believe that today its value has not fallen, but rather increased due to the critical importance of grain exports for Ukraine during the war.
"Given that the Borivazh property package is currently mortgaged to a company apparently linked to Ihor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy Boholyubov - Terminal Borivazh - this is a 100% joint deal in the interests of these oligarchs. Thus, Tigipko is helping the former owners of Privatbank," Martynov said.
According to him, such actions will offset the negative consequences associated with the upcoming decision of the High Court of England in the case of Privatbank's claim for compensation for damages for the withdrawn assets, which are estimated at $1.951 billion, and $4.2 billion with interest.
"Not only did Kolomoisky and Boholyubov buy back their own loans at a discount of more than UAH 3 billion, but they will no longer be the official owners of the port, which will allow them to avoid foreclosure on the port," Martynov writes.
He recalled that Tigipko had previously carried out a similar scam with Leninskaya Kuznitsa 2, hiding the assets of then-President Petro Poroshenko, and now he helped Boholyubov and Kolomoisky.
