The SSU is taking steps to prevent destabilization of one of the largest oil refineries in Ukraine and ensure its transfer to state ownership in a working condition.

After the recent meeting of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief’s Staff, the National Commission on Securities and Stock Market made a decision to carry out compulsory alienation of shares of Ukrnafta PJSC to state ownership.

The SSU and the Bureau of Economic Security are verifying information that the company’s management evaded paying millions of USD of the mandatory excise duties in 2022.

Separately, the law enforcement agencies are checking if the company committed violations to increase profits during fuel production.

Under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office, investigators are preparing a notice of suspicion of tax evasion (Article 212.3 of the CCU) to be served to the company’s management.

The SSU together with the BES will act to identify and bring to justice all those involved in the unlawful activity and ensure smooth functioning of Ukraine’s strategically important enterprises.
