Kyiv's Pecherksy district court has arrested accounts of Trafigura Ukraine LLC, Skela Tercium LLC, Craft Energy LLC, Agroresurs production industrial company LLC and AGT LLC opened by the companies in Alfa-Bank.
According to a court ruling dated September 19, 2017, the Prosecutor General's Office asked to arrest the accounts in the investigation into the embezzlement of funds by managers of state-owned enterprise Ukrspyrt when natural gas was purchased.
As reported, the subsidiary of international trader Trafigura – Trafigura Ukraine – obtained a license to supply natural gas in the country on June 15, 2017.
Trafigura was founded in 1993 by a group of traders that left Marc Rich Co. Later the latter was transformed into Glencore. In April 2017, Trafigura won a lot to supply 218 million cubic meters of gas for UAH 1.35 billion in a tender held by public joint-stock company Ukrtransgaz.
