The court’s decision concerns six companies involved in the production and research of drilling equipment, as well as the production of agricultural products in the Kyiv and Sumy regions.
In total, assets worth UAH 60 million were seized.
According to the investigation, Serdyuk is the owner of the “Moscow Experimental Plant of Drilling Equipment” and “Hydroengineering” and is a member of the inner circle of the leaders of the financial and industrial groups of the Kremlin. According to his instructions, Ukrainian enterprises under his control produced high-tech products for drilling oil and gas wells and sold them abroad.
At the same time, Serdyuk directed a significant part of the received profits to finance the scientific and testing grounds of the Russian Federation. In particular, to training centers where the Russians tested their own combat aircraft and missile weapons.
In order to hide his business in Ukraine after the start of a full-scale invasion, a Russian businessman tried to rewrite his own enterprises to nine representatives of controlled commercial structures. In addition, he created two new companies in Sumy Oblast and in one of the EU countries to illegally withdraw profits from Ukraine.
During searches of the offices, warehouses and residences of the persons involved in Kyiv and Sumy, law enforcement officers found accounting reports, draft records, mobile phones and computer equipment with evidence of illegal activity.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Part 2 of Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code (financing of actions committed for the purpose of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power). As part of the proceedings, it is planned to report the suspicion to Serdyuk and the heads of Ukrainian commercial structures under his control.
