On January 20, 2016, members of the organization "SICh" led by MP Ihor Lutsenko committed vandal actions at 15 filling stations of FIE AMIC Ukraine. "Statements of activists as well as the information, spread by some mass media, are doubtful and are not consistent with the reality. Company AMIC Energy Management GmbH is the Austrian company which owns a chain of filling stations FIE AMIC Ukraine. We made this information public on April 29, 2015, after the acquisition of a 100% stake in the enterprise with foreign investments LUKOIL-Ukraine. We hope that the Ukrainian government, having taken the course towards integration into the European Union, will be able to ensure guarantees of our investments and will strive for execution of laws in its territory," Günter Maier, Managing Director of AMIC Energy GmbH, declared. Lawyers of the company consider that the illegal actions by members of the organization "SICh" led by MP Ihor Lutsenko in territory of AMIC Energy filling stations should be qualified as an attempt of deliberate damage of the company's property. "All the facts of wrongful actions are fixed by surveillance cameras, will be transferred to the prosecutor's office and police and considered though legal proceedings. Our company sustained not only material damage but also moral one. And publications in some mass media are discrediting business reputation, honor and dignity since they distribute the information, which obviously harms the company business reputation, undermines trust of clients, partners and personnel to it. We are the Austrian company and all false statements or applications are guesswork and have nothing in common with the actual state of affairs," noted Radovan Mitas, AMIC Energy GmbH. We are open and ready to provide any information to mass media and other persons interested about activity of company FIE AMIC Ukraine and AMIC Energy Management GmbH in Ukraine.
