Roman Nasirov
The debts and millions in losses incurred by the State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine in 2013-2014 brought the corporation to the brink of bankruptcy, and it is impossible to fully compensate for the financial losses, according to a source close to the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine.
According to him, the state-owned grain trader's financial position was severely damaged by its previous management, including Roman Nasirov, deputy chairman of the board of directors of the State Food and Grain Company. "Although he claimed to consider himself 'crystal clean,' there is every reason to believe that he earned enough money for a significant 'investment' in luxury housing in London during his two years in this position, collaborating with former head of the State Food and Grain Company, Oleksandr Lavrinchuk," the source said. Furthermore, the State Food and Grain Company paid approximately UAH 35 million in advance for grain to two companies owned by former head of the board, Oleksandr Lavrinchuk. The goods have not yet been delivered. Another former manager, Petro Vovchuk, is suspected of attempted large-scale embezzlement. During the same period, $132 million was siphoned offshore, and the corporation paid another UAH 177 million for fictitious insurance services.
Moreover, Nasirov often helps Lavrinchuk get into the right high offices to negotiate his return to the position of head of the board of the State Food and Agriculture Organization of Ukraine.
The source does not rule out the involvement of these individuals in organizing an information campaign against the State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine. The goal is to terminate a multi-million-dollar contract with the Chinese company CCEC. This could lead to the company's bankruptcy, and then the accomplices may default on their debt obligations to the state corporation.
