Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and two of his top managers have been served with a notice of suspicion in Ukraine.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to the SSU press service.
Deripaska was served with a notice of suspicion in absentia, and his two top managers were detained in different regions of Ukraine.
"In particular, we are talking about the director of the Hlukhiv Quartzite Quarry mining company and the supervisor of this institution from a Russian oligarch: a citizen of Ukraine who received a residence permit in Russia in 2021. According to the investigation, these two defendants helped a Russian businessman to appropriate the quarry's production facilities in 2012, despite the existing ban on their sale. Since then, and until the start of the full-scale invasion of Russia, the management of the mining company has been supplying wholesale batches of rocks to Russia for steelmaking.
The Russian billionaire's companies sold the raw materials received from Ukraine to the enterprises of the aggressor country's military-industrial complex for the production of ballistic missiles, in particular, the Iskander type. The invaders also used the imported products for the mass production of combat drones and radar systems," the statement said.
Deripaska was notified of suspicion in absentia under the following articles:
- p. 3, Art. 27, Art. 191, para. 5 (organization of misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of official position committed by an organized group);
- p. 3 of Article 27, part 3 of Article 209 (organization of legalization (laundering) of property obtained by the criminal way);
- p. 3, Art. 27, Art. 28, Art. 28, Art. 110-2 (organization of financing of actions committed with the aim of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power, change of the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine).
The criminal actions of the director of the Ukrainian company are qualified under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
- p. 3 of Art. 209 (legalization (laundering) of property obtained in a criminal way by an organized group);
- p. 2, Art. 28, Art. 110-2, para. 4 (aiding and abetting in the financing of actions committed with the aim of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power, change of the boundaries of the territory or state border of Ukraine).
His accomplice, a curator, was served a notice of suspicion for:
- p. 5 of Art. 191 (misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of official position committed by an organized group);
- p. 3 Art. 209 (organization of legalization (laundering) of property obtained by the criminal way) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
One of RUSAL's executives and a Cypriot citizen who facilitated the illegal alienation of the company were also served with a notice of suspicion in absentia.
