Administrative resources, corruption, and the conscience of deputy Sergei Alekseev in the service of Ukrsotsbank

For several days in a row, publications have appeared in the media with links in a video in favor of UkrSibbank, in which UkrSibbank joined in the criticism of V.I. Tatkov and S.A. Yemelyanov and openly accused them of multi-million dollar bribes for making the necessary decisions. 1The position of UkrSocBank was voiced by comments from the representative of UkrSocBank, Oleksandr Tkachuk, who is also the senior lawyer Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners and assistant People's Deputy Sergei Alekseev.

Who became a deputy for the first time, and before that was a founder of the shameful bankrupt LLC "Law Firm "Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners" (now "Blue Lights"), which provided services to "UkrSibbank".

2The panic that Ukrsotsbank and its lawyers experienced was triggered by a ruling against Ukrsotsbank. Unable to come up with anything more clever, Ukrsotsbank and Oleksandr Tkachuk decided to tar the plaintiff's representatives in this case and intimidate Commercial Court Judge S.A. Kovtun, who had granted the application of one of the investors in the construction of a business center at 12 Mykola Amosov Street and ordered the seizure of UAH 18,5 million in Ukrsotsbank accounts during the trial, as a legal right for the investor to secure his claim against Ukrsotsbank for compensation for essential improvements to the business center.

 

We remind Ukrsotsbank and its representatives, in case they are unaware, that, according to current legislation, decisions of the first instance, which is the Kyiv Commercial Court, are not final. There is a higher appellate court, where Judge Maryna Didichenko, Sergei Alekseev's liaison and Sergei Boyarchukov's sister, serves, as well as Judge S.A. Goncharov, who has upheld Ukrsotsbank's ownership of the assets of Strizh-Invest, Ukrzhilbud Corporation, NSI Construction, Isa Prime Development, and others, totaling over UAH 1,000,000,000. It's unlikely they should spend much time pondering what decision they will make on Ukrsotsbank's appeal of S.V. Kovtun's decision regarding UAH 18,5 million, if the automated system awards them the award.

We won't go into slander, but we will state the fact that Didichenko is quite consistent in her positive attitude towards UkrSibbank, as evidenced by other high-profile scandals involving UkrSibbank lawsuits. https://videonews.com.ua/videos/hozsud2604.html

Another acquaintance of Sergey Alekseyev, Eduard Shevchenko, also works at the Kyiv Commercial Court of Appeals. His son, Anton Eduardovich Shevchenko, is listed as an assistant to MP Sergey Alekseyev. Eduard Shevchenko even lives next door to Sergey Alekseyev in the cottage community of "Vyshneve Mistechko" in the Boryspil district of the Kyiv region, and they can discuss these matters over a cup of tea. In 2012, Shevchenko attempted to sell his mansion for $890,000. https://kiev.etag.com.ua/1165846.html

4We're sure the mansion of an honest lawyer and member of parliament looks no worse and costs no less, because he needs somewhere to park his yacht and Ferrari 948 Italia.

Potentially, E.A. Shevchenko could also side with UkrSibbank, not wanting to spoil relations with Sergei Alekseev and Marina Didichenko. That such a relationship is possible is further evidenced by the fact that, according to the decision of the High Qualification Commission of Judges of July 2, 2012, a judge of the Kyiv Commercial Court Goncharov S.A., along with Judge M.A. Didichenko, were recommended for transfer to the Kyiv City Commercial Court of Appeal. M.A. Didichenko was appointed by Supreme Council Resolution No. 5324-VI of July 5, 2012 (very quickly), and S.A. Goncharov was appointed by Supreme Council Resolution No. 5324-VI of October 2, 2012, together with the aforementioned Judge Eduard Shevchenko.

Serhiy Alekseyev also has a personal headache, one that has made him a laughingstock among lawyers. It has been revealed that, in order to conceal his involvement in money laundering at Ukrsotsbank, Serhiy Alekseyev was forced to transfer the corporate rights to front men and rename his brainchild, the Law Firm Alekseyev, Boyarchukov & Partners LLC, to Blue Lights (LLC Blakytne Syayvo). Through its accounts, approximately 240 million hryvnias of Ukrsotsbank money were cashed out, leaving approximately 50 million hryvnias unpaid in taxes. To cover up the crimes, Alekseyev's controlled company, Strategic Partners LLC (registered with the help of Yuriy Lets, a financier at Alekseyev, Boyarchukov & Partners), initiated bankruptcy proceedings against the renamed Blakytne Syayvo LLC. This bankruptcy case is being heard by Judge N.V. Pasko, who is a long-time acquaintance of M.A. Didichenko (they jointly heard cases No. 49/14 filed by Ukrbudmash Plant LLC and No. 22/114 filed by KGS LLC in 2011). Therefore, it is difficult to speak of Judge N.V. Pasko's impartiality in the bankruptcy case of Blakytne Syaivo LLC.

In its publications, Ukrsotsbank noted that every judge has their own skeletons in the closet. This turned out to be true, and what was shocking was the fact that the competence of M.A. Didichenko herself, who ruled in favor of Ukrsotsbank, is also seriously questionable. One only has to look at how many of her decisions have been overturned over the past year by the Supreme Commercial Court of Ukraine, including as illegal. Here are just a few of them: case no. 910/11039/14, case no. 910/10651/14, case no. 910/9233/14, case no. 910/7865/14, case no. 910/6506/14, case no. 19/304-10, and dozens of others that we didn’t bother to delve into, and for each of which Didichenko M.A. could have been fired or even held accountable.

5It has become known, which is worth reminding UkrSibbank, that on April 20, 2012, in payment for the decision of S.A. Goncharov, the bank transferred the corporate rights to UIP Ltd., which owns the administrative building at 9 Naberezhno-Khreshchatytska Street, with a total value at that time of approximately UAH 124 million. Thus, on April 20, 2012, PJSC UkrSibbank, represented by Boris Timonkin (now arrested in Germany), transferred the right to claim under the loan and mortgage agreements against UIP Ltd. in favor of Kratos International Legal Company LLC, the founder and director of which was A.G. Medved. 6 (driver of the managing partner of Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners, Sergei Boyarchukov).

 

By all legal standards, the transaction can be considered fictitious. According to available information, during the specified period, Ukrsotsbank transferred more than 10 million UAH in installments to the current account of Oleksiyev, Boyarchukov & Partners Law Firm LLC. The funds were cashed by the company's management and transferred to A.G. Medved, who contributed them to the authorized capital of Kratos Law Firm LLC. They were then transferred back to Ukrsotsbank as payment for 9assignment. Further, Medved A.G. transferred the corporate rights to LLC "MYUK "Kratos" to a resident of Donetsk, V.V. Ovdusenko, indirectly connected with the judge of the commercial court, S.A. Goncharov, who issued decisions on the companies "Strizh-Invest" and others mentioned above. In addition, V.V. Ovdusenko is closely connected with the unofficial assistant of Viktor Tatkov, Ruslan Braslavsky, with whom they lived in the same village of Telmanovo, in the Donetsk region. The connection of Tatkov's team with Ovdusenko This is also confirmed in other disputes:

It's worth reminding Ukrsotsbank that the registrar was convicted of facilitating the falsification of the registration of one of the properties at 12 Mykola Amosova Street in favor of Ukrsotsbank, and the valuation at which Judge S.A. Goncharov awarded Ukrsotsbank the building, which belonged to a second investor, was understated.

It's clear that Ukrsotsbank's attempts to hold onto the assets it acquired through corporate raiding are beyond reasonable bounds. In civilized Europe, such as Austria, the parties negotiate and return the invested funds.

As we can see, the protection of UkrSibbank's interests is closely linked to the personal interests of Sergei Alekseev and clearly stinks.

          This is also evidenced by the information provided by Sergei Alekseev on his Facebook page and on the UDAR party website, where Alekseev presents himself and UkrSibbank as unfortunate victims of the yellow press.

          At the same time, Sergei Alekseev remains silent and does not provide answers to voters’ quite logical questions:

— Why was the LLC “Legal Company “Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners” renamed to LLC “Blakytne syaivo” and tried to file for bankruptcy in the Vinnytsia Commercial Court, and when that didn’t work out, is it now filing for bankruptcy in the Kyiv Commercial Court under Judge N.V. Pasko?;

— Why did the Law Firm Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners LLC (now Blakytne Syayvo LLC) transfer funds received from Ukrsotsbank to the tax platforms Revindortorg, Fiada, Law Firm Experience Law, Megarid, and others, which are involved in numerous criminal proceedings related to this matter?

— Why did the LLC “Legal company “Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners” (now LLC “Blakytne syayvo”), having received more than 240 million UAH from “Ukrsotsbank” for legal services in 2011-2014, fail to pay more than 50 million UAH in taxes and is trying to go bankrupt?;

— why are more than 11 companies with the name “Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners” registered at the address Shota Rustaveli Street, 11, Kyiv?

— Why did Sergei Alekseev receive about 20 million UAH in dividends from the law firms Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners in 2014, some of which he received while being a member of parliament of Ukraine and having no connection to the companies?

      — Why doesn’t Sergei Alekseev, being a people’s deputy, engage in legislative activity, but defends UkrSibbank and sings the praises of UniCredit Group, which is leaving Ukraine, the interests of which are represented in court by lawyers from Alekseev, Boyarchukov and Partners?

— Why is UkrSocBank afraid of an investigation into the undervaluation of properties at 12 Mykola Amosov Street, carried out by Energomax, which was used in case No. 5011-66/7999-2012?

— Why are UkrSocBank and its lawyers afraid of the consideration of case No. 5011-66/7999-2012 based on newly discovered circumstances?

 

 Perhaps Sergei Alekseev and UkrSibbank are keeping silent because this will be one of the first criminal proceedings the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine detectives will be asked these questions.

Let us remind you that the Head of NABU Artem Sytnik in an interview to the question "If there are public scandals, like, say, with former Ecology Minister Igor Shevchenko, will you prioritize such cases?" he replied. "I will. A press report is formally grounds for initiating an investigation."
