The Vakhitovsky District Court of the Russian city of Kazan at the beginning of last month decided to arrest in absentia a Ukrainian businessman - the owner and president of the DCH group Alexander Yaroslavsky. The DCH group includes one of the largest metallurgical enterprises in Dnipro and Ukraine as a whole.
“The decision of the Vakhitovsky court in Kazan (RF) should be considered solely as illegal persecution, motivated by the context of the current political situation, and not by the legal position ”, the DCH statement says.
The decision of the Russian court was preceded by the arrest and blocking of the property of Tatnafta (Tatarstan, RF) in Ukraine.
November 1, 2018, Alexander Yaroslavsky was included in the list of persons against whom the Russian government has imposed personal sanctions.
In February 2021, the High Court of London rejected the lawsuit of the Russian company Tatneft against Ukrainian businessmen Alexander Yaroslavsky and the former chairman of the board of CJSC Ukrtatnafta Pavel Ovcharenko .
Dneprovsky Metallurgical Plant produces long products, shapes, beams, rails, special profiles for car rims, mechanical engineering, agriculture, coal and mining industries. The plant's products are exported to more than 40 countries around the world. From January 1, 2022, all metallurgical production of the plant was stopped for scheduled repairs.
