Abuses at the Pavlohrad Chemical Plant: the case of commercial director Valerii Kyrylov Abuses at the Pavlohrad Chemical Plant: the case of commercial director Valerii Kyrylov

Case description

On July 7, 2023, the HACCU convicted Valerii Kyrylov, commercial director of the Pavlohrad Chemical Plant, of abusing the sale of explosives through intermediaries. He was sentenced to 4 years.

In 2015, Valerii Kyrylov, the commercial director of the Pavlohrad Chemical Plant, organized a criminal scheme to provide benefits to another legal entity, the Zorya Research and Production Enterprise.

He signed contracts for the supply of industrial explosives with RPE Zorya, rather than directly with end users, on more cost-effective terms. Kyrylov realized that supplying the plant's products through an intermediary would cost the end users much more, and the products would be shipped not to the intermediary but to the customers' warehouses. 

As a result of Kyrylov's abuses, the state-owned enterprise he headed suffered losses of more than UAH 7 million.

His actions were classified under Article 364, part 2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The HACC sentenced the official to 4 years in prison, a UAH 17,000 fine, and a 3-year ban on holding positions at state-owned enterprises. The court also granted the prosecutor's office's demand to recover UAH 7 million from Kyrylov.
