The Odesa Regional Prosecutor's Office has succeeded in recovering more than UAH 10 million in debt from the Odesa Port Plant.
According to the press service of the prosecutor's office, the company owed the money to the State Emergency Service in Odesa Oblast.
"At a chemical plant where there is a risk of large-scale fires, it is mandatory to have a state fire and rescue unit. However, as prosecutors found out, since July 2023, the plant has not paid money under the fire protection contract," the prosecutor's office explained.
Therefore, the prosecutor's office filed a lawsuit with the commercial court, which found the debt collection claims to be justified and satisfied the claim.
Earlier, the Supreme Court finally confirmed the invalidity of the disputed contract, which resulted in the state not receiving rent payments. In 2022, an individual entrepreneur and the Concern "Voynevtorhservice" entered into a service agreement that actually covered the lease of warehouse premises with an area of 430.7 square meters belonging to the real estate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The market value of the property is UAH 3.7 million.
In early September, the Court of Appeal upheld a lawsuit filed by prosecutors of the Chernivtsi Specialized Defense Prosecutor's Office of the Western Region and returned the recreation center in Zatoka village, Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi district, Odesa region, to state ownership. The Meteor base, which belonged to the Ministry of Defense, was sold at auction on April 15, 2013. Prosecutors insisted that the auction was held in gross violation of the law and at a low price. The base was sold for UAH 1 million. In 2014, the prosecutor' s office announced that it had won in court, but the base was never returned and the litigation continued. At least the prosecutor's office reported that the base had been returned to the Ministry of Defense several times.
