Among the suspects in the AGREIN case is Kolomoisky's partner

Agrain

Among the suspects in the high-profile criminal case of fraud by officials of the agricultural holding AGREIN, as it turns out, is one of Igor Kolomoisky's business partners, Pavel Ovcharenko.
Just yesterday, the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office announced the official version of the investigation into one of Ukraine's largest agricultural holdings, immediately announcing that six individuals in the case have already been charged with a number of criminal offenses.
Mr. Ovcharenko is one of these six and, apparently, the most important, since the other five “worked” under his strict leadership.
Now that the identity of the prime suspect has been revealed, the theory circulated by some media outlets that Agrain is allegedly being raided by former Party of Regions member V. Pekhov with the help of the prosecutor's office seems utterly unconvincing. To understand this simple truth, it's enough to know who Pavel Ovcharenko really is.
Thus, in 2004, P. Ovcharenko, while serving as Chairman of the Board of Ukrtatnafta CJSC (Ukraine's largest crude oil refining company, based at the Kremenchug Oil Refinery), was accused by the company's shareholders of fraud and embezzlement of company funds. Ukrtatnafta CJSC suffered losses of $10 million as a result of Ovcharenko's abuse of office.
Following this, at a meeting of shareholders, a decision was made to dismiss P. Ovcharenko from the position of Chairman of the Board.
However, already in 2007, Igor Kolomoisky's Privat Group succeeded in court in removing Sergei Glushko from his post as CEO of Ukrtatnafta and reappointing Pavel Ovcharenko.
As reported, on October 19, 2007, P. Ovcharenko, considered a Kolomoisky associate, seized the plant with the support of armed men, citing a court ruling reinstating him. S. Glushko was on a business trip at the time. On October 25, 2007, a criminal case was opened regarding the seizure of the plant.
The Ukrainian oligarch's actions sparked an international scandal. Rustam Minnikhanov, Prime Minister of Tatarstan and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tatneft, one of the majority shareholders of Ukrtatnafta, appealed to the President and the Government of Ukraine to intervene in the situation surrounding Ukrtatnafta.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs is currently investigating these facts. However, the above-described situation remains unresolved due to P. Ovcharenko's permanent residence outside of Ukraine. According to available information, he resides virtually permanently in France.
In addition, P. Ovcharenko has a residence permit in one of the Baltic countries – Estonia, where he also visits quite often.
It is clear that when applying for a residence permit in the Republic of Estonia, P. Ovcharenko concealed the existence of criminal cases against him by Ukrainian law enforcement agencies, effectively providing false grounds for obtaining the residence permit. It is likely that he also concealed the fact that he served as a career soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and was discharged from military service to the reserves. According to the Law of the Republic of Estonia "On Foreigners," all of this constitutes sufficient grounds for revoking his residence permit, which, for unknown reasons, has not yet occurred.
It should also be noted that the story of the alleged corporate raid on the Agrain agricultural holding was first publicized by several media outlets controlled by I. Kolomoisky. This once again casts doubt on the veracity of the disseminated information. Most likely, the Agrain agricultural holding has become yet another target for attacks by P. Ovcharenko and his patron, I. Kolomoisky.
