Expert on the Chinese claim for "Motor Sich" in The Hague: officials are to blame, not investors.
There can be only one explanation for such a strange inaction - corruption of the highest level with very high stakes, the expert believes.
Accusing an investment company today that Ukraine has become a defendant in the arbitration in the "Motor Sich case" is like blaming a cashier at a train station for a train crash. This is the opinion of the authoritative economic expert Alexander Okhrimenko, president of the Ukrainian Analytical Center.
"Then it is necessary to blame all participants of the Ukrainian stock market for the same, where for many years Motor Sich shares were quoted in the status of "blue chips" - operations with them were openly carried out by both Ukrainian and foreign investors, investment and even non-state pension funds, just thousands of private investors," he believes.
At the same time, Okhrimenko, as an economist and financier, today has many questions for the state and politicians who either nationalized the enterprise or not, according to the information of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.
"Chinese shareholders were actually pushed out of the plant by the NSDC decision and Zelensky's decree. Without negotiations, without civilized procedures for working with foreign investors in such a situation. And the cherry on the cake - the Ministry of Justice admits that it did not do anything in this case! There can be only one explanation for such a strange inaction - corruption of the highest level with very high stakes."
According to the expert, very greedy and very unscrupulous, but completely incompetent people from the corridors of power are behind the decisions on the withdrawal of Motor Sichi from the Chinese. And now they really want to transfer the arrows to someone for Ukraine's loss of $ 4.5 billion in arbitration with the Chinese.
Earlier, the media reported that the investment company of Tomas Fiala, together with the American DLA Piper, participated in the execution of transactions for the sale of shares of the Zaporozhye plant to Chinese companies, writes UNIAN.
