Akhmetov, in collusion with Poroshenko, is buying up the remaining shares of metallurgical giants
The main shareholder of the Azovstal metallurgical enterprise, Rinat Akhmetov, by order, invited his workers to sell him the shares remaining after the privatization of the 90s.
Former UP journalist, Verkhovna Rada deputy Sergei Leshchenko spoke about this in his investigation, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
At the moment, through a Cypriot company, Akhmetov is the holder of 95% of Azovstal shares; after purchasing the remaining 5 percent, he will be the sole owner of the enterprise.
“Having high-level patrons on Bankovaya, Akhmetov forces his subordinates to sell their shares in metallurgical enterprises for next to nothing. Thus, he undermines the investment climate in Ukraine, and government regulators are simply inactive. It is possible to protect small shareholders only after a change of government and punishment of fraudsters,” the investigation says.
