UAH 1.6 billion in losses: the case of the frauds of Anatolii Zavadskyi, former adviser to the SFGCU UAH 1.6 billion in losses: the case of the frauds of Anatolii Zavadskyi, former adviser to the SFGCU

Case description

On October 1, 2024, the HACC found Anatolii Zavadskyi, former advisor to the State Food and Grain Corporation (SFGCU), guilty of abuse of office and bribery. He implemented a scheme in which the SFGCU sold grain at low prices. Zavadskyi was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

According to the investigation, in 2014, Zavadskyi organized a group of officials of PJSC State Food and Grain Corporation who agreed to conclude contracts for the supply of agricultural products for the purpose of personal enrichment. Zavadskyi was supposed to conclude contracts for a bribe at prices below market prices, with a total value of USD 667,000. The scheme provided that the SFGCU sold grain cheaply, in particular, to one of the international grain traders controlled by the Russian oligarch Fedorychev through a number of private intermediary companies. As a result of Zavadskyi’s actions, the SFGCU suffered losses in the amount of more than USD 60 million (UAH 1.6 billion). However, the court decided that the losses were proven only in the amount of UAH 45.3 million.

Zavadskyi’s actions were qualified under Article 368, part 4 and Article 364, part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison with a fine of UAH 17,000, confiscation of all property, and deprivation of the right to hold certain positions.

The court also partially granted the SFGCU’s claims and decided to recover UAH 45.3 million from Zavadskyi in favor of the PJSC. The latter may appeal the verdict in the appellate instance.

Other individuals also appeared in this case. Previously, the HACC approved a plea agreement with Petro Vovchuk, the former head of the State Food and Grain Corporation of Ukraine, who was sentenced to 3 years of probation. In addition, Vitalii Korniyenko, the owner of one of the intermediary firms, also concluded an agreement.
