Agrain
The prosecutor's office has opened a criminal case for the embezzlement of seized property from enterprises of the AGREIN agricultural holding, which constitutes an offense under Part 1 of Article 388 (illegal actions against seized property) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. This was reported by the Judicial and Legal Newspaper, citing the press service of the Kyiv prosecutor's office.
"As part of the pre-trial investigation into fraudulent actions by officials of the agricultural holding AGREIN, investigators have uncovered criminal schemes used to re-register the holding's seized grain. The investigation has reason to believe that the grain re-registration is not part of normal business activity, but rather a systematic effort to avoid seizure of the property and the receipt of illegal profits. Furthermore, this scheme to re-register the holding's property involves officials of the company, benefiting the suspects," the statement reads.
Investigators are currently taking steps to establish the circle of persons involved in committing these offenses.
As a reminder, last week, the Kharkiv Court of Appeal reviewed 27 appeals against the seizure of Agrain's grain. Following the appeals, the court upheld the prosecutor's office's position and retained the seizure of over 100 tons of the agricultural holding's grain.
