According to the investigation, the officials of the Pavlograd Chemical Plant created such conditions that the final buyers of PCP products, mining and processing plants, had to purchase it through intermediaries. These intermediary firms sold goods at a lower price than the companies sold products to mining and processing plants. Thus, the difference in cost remained on the accounts of intermediary companies, and the state-owned PCP lost income in the amount of UAH 43.3 million.
As NABU and SAP established, shipments of products to mining and processing plants were carried out not by intermediary firms, but directly from PCP to end customers and the plant’s funds. Because of this scheme, the company allegedly operates at a loss. In December 2022, NABU completed its investigation into this case.
