According to the prosecutors, in the future, the former leadership of the GU NP in the Odessa region, Golovin and Geiko, developed a new plan to take possession of these cigarettes. So, they entered into an agreement with a local businessman Alexander Chudakov and other unidentified persons. According to the plan, these cigarettes were to be deposited in a warehouse of one of the firms controlled by Chudakov. Agat-2016 LLC became such an enterprise, where the head was Valery Kapitanchuk, who is now hiding from law enforcement officers abroad, but he was informed of suspicion in absentia. Recently, the VAKS allowed an investigation in absentia against Kapitanchuk.
With this enterprise, Golovin's deputy signed an agreement for the storage of material evidence, and the ex-police chief himself ordered his subordinates, namely the investigators of the Investigative Directorate of the NP in the Odessa region, to transfer these cigarettes to Chudakov's warehouses, which, according to the agreements, were Agat-2016. Later, Golovin allegedly gave investigators the number of businessman Chudakov and said that he was an employee of the Security Service of Ukraine and would control the transportation of goods. Already in September 2018, cigarettes disappeared from the company's warehouse. Some of these cigarettes were sold via the Internet, and the other was taken to Europe.
Later, according to prosecutors, the Agat-2016 company changed its owner, who became Gennady Prokhorov for $100, although according to the documents, the purchase cost UAH 1.5 million According to the investigation, this scheme caused damage to the owners of cigarettes in the amount of UAH 13.46 million.
