On April 24, 2023, the HACC found Ihor Ihnatov, director of the private firm Open Key Infrastructure, guilty of seizing UAH 43.5 million from the state-owned enterprise Ukrkhimtransamiak. The businessman was sentenced to 12 years in prison.

Picture

In 2013–2014, Dmytro Hlazunov, acting head of Ukrkhimtransamiak, colluded with Ihor Ihnatov, director of a private enterprise, and other unidentified people. The scheme involved the conclusion of fictitious contracts between the state-owned enterprise and a company affiliated with Ihnatov, then turning the funds into cash. 

Ihnatov and his accomplices seized UAH 43.5 million, which was intended to repair the alerting systems for residents living near the Togliatti-Odesa ammonia pipeline.

His actions were classified under Article 27, part 5; Article 191, part 5 of the Criminal Code, and Article 209, part 3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The entrepreneur was sentenced to 12 years in prison with a ban on holding managerial positions for 3 years. In addition, the court confiscated all his property: a house in the Kharkiv region, an apartment in the Donetsk region, and 7 premium-class cars. He was taken into custody in the courtroom. The HACC AC upheld the verdict.

Ihnatov also appeared as a suspect in a raiding case in the 2000s. He could be connected to the organized crime group led by Oleksandr Kapitonov.

However, the proceedings against Hlazunov, former director of Ukrkhimtransamiak, were closed due to the death of the accused in early 2023.
