The search was conducted in connection with a planned deal for the State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine (SFGCU) to purchase more than 50% of the shares of Ukrainian National Stevedoring Company LLC.
A search was conducted at the investment firm Capital Times on September 29, the company's managing partner, Eric Naiman, wrote on his Facebook page.
Eric Nayman links the search to the detention of Vyacheslav Kruk by the Security Service of Ukraine in connection with a planned deal for the State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine (SFGCU) to purchase more than 50% of the shares of Ukrainian National Stevedoring Company LLC, which operates out of Berth 14 of the Odessa Sea Trade Port.
"Capital Times is acting as a consultant for the seller in this transaction. Yuriy Kruk (head of the Illichivsk port, brother of Vyacheslav Kruk – Ed.) has a stake in the seller's company. By court order, we provided documents of three employees and their computers to the investigative team, comprised of the prosecutor's office and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) – everything related to the PZKU deal. However, they are now attempting to search (and partially seize) other documents and computers of the company. This threatens to cause material and moral damage to the company and its clients," Nayman wrote.
He also did not rule out that this could be an attempt to influence him after his criticism of the authorities’ recent actions.
As reported, on September 29, the SBU detained in Odessa Vyacheslav Kruk, a candidate for people's deputy in single-mandate constituency No. 133 (Kyiv district of Odessa), a deputy of the Odessa City Council.
In addition, a search was also conducted on Monday at the home of Vyacheslav Kruk's father, People's Deputy Yuriy Kruk (Economic Development group).
In addition, on September 29, the press service of the Ilyichevsk port confirmed a search of the office of the port director, Yuri Kruk, the brother of Vyacheslav Kruk.
The port's press service noted that these investigative actions have no relation to the company's business activities or to Yuri Kruk's work as port director.
