More than USD 1 million in damages: the case of fraud by Andrii Rachkov, former deputy head of the Titanium Institute More than USD 1 million in damages: the case of fraud by Andrii Rachkov, former deputy head of the Titanium Institute

Case description

On April 20, 2022, the HACC found Andrii Rachkov, former Deputy Director General of the Titanium Institute, guilty of embezzling funds of the Institute. He was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison.

During 2012–2013, Rachkov, who headed the State Research and Design Institute of Titanium, transferred USD 1.258 million as a reward to the offshore company REMAX LTD for agency services to streamline documentation. In fact, no services were provided or performed.

The court classified Rachkov's actions under Article 191, part 5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and sentenced him in absentia to 10 years in prison with confiscation of all his property and a ban on holding certain positions for 3 years. The court also granted the civil claim and ordered to recover UAH 10 million from Rachkov, the accused, in favor of the Titanium Institute.

In December 2021, Rachkov left Ukraine and did not return—in January of the following year, he was put on the international wanted list.
