The CEO insists his company, which has been declared insolvent, has money for the purchase, but wants first to check thoroughly the real condition and state of Kremikovzi in order to make sure he can have a return on the investment and the mill can really produce something that can be sold on the world market.
The asking price is BGN 565 517 510 M.
Demyanyuk says he already has a recovery plan for the mill; had conducted preliminary talks with the companies to which the behemoth owes money and they were ready to accept differed payments.
The CEO further presented documents evidencing embezzlement, Value Added Tax (VAT) draining schemes at Kremikovzi, and the illegal sale of electric power to other companies for prices 25% higher than the market ones.
Demyanyuk was firm “Vorskla Steel” was chased away from the mill on purpose with the sole goal to declare it bankrupt.
