Oleh Bakhmatyuk, the owner of the largest Ukrainian agricultural holding Ukrlandfarming, accuses the head of the President's Office Andriy Bogdan of takeover his business.

Bohdan also ordered the case against him in NABU, says Oleg Bakhmatyuk in an interview with Latifundist.com, reports Ukrains'ki Novyny.

Bakhmatyuk talk about the reopened NABU case of allegedly misuse of UAH 1.2 billion refinancing which VAB Bank received from the National Bank. Various law enforcement agencies had already been investigating this case for several years and it was closed due to lack of corpus delicti.

But the case was reopened despite Deposit Guarantee Fund, the NBU statements and official examinations refuted it's charges.

"I believe that Andriy Bohdan, the head of the President's Office, "ordered me". He conducted these processes in relation to Kasko and Sytnik. I met him in person. I heard the rhetoric. We tried to find a construct. Bogdan is the conductor and operator of the lawsuit against me. The media sources confirm that these things are taking place not only in relation to me, but everywhere. I clearly understand that this is a politically motivated process," Oleg Bakhmatyuk says.

Oleh Bakhmatyuk also doesn't exclude that they want to takeover his business in such way.

"I do not exclude that there are some hostile takeover episodes, because the company is very large. We understand that it's threat for lease agreements, and assets pledged by external lenders will be depreciated in an unstable situation. You perfectly understand that the cost of an elevator without land is 10 times less. And it applies to any other asset. We do not exclude that it's also one of the motives for making decisions against our company. I wouldn't want to be convinced of this and show who did it. We consider that as way to attract attention, a manifestation of populism. You can see that the prosecutor general says that he'll carry out imprisonments based on the results of so-called sociological studies. It's nonsense," he said.

According to Oleh Bakhmatyuk, the interests of the NABU head Artem Sytnyk and the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Ruslan Ryaboshapki are coincided in the that case.
