The court also ruled that sanctions of over UAH 2 million and funds to pay for legal costs are to be returned to Nortima Ltd. and to Frunze-Flora, as well as the UAH 800 million.
Earlier, Konstantin Grigorishin, who controls Frunze-Flora Ltd., said that the State Property Fund was obliged to return UAH 400 to Frunze-Flora which the company paid to bid in a tender to sell OJSC Odesa port-side chemical plant. According to him, Frunze-Flora was informed that there were no funds in the budget and the bid deposit would be returned to the company if the IMF allocated funds and there was money left over.
As reported, the bid deposit was returned only to Azot-Service when the tender was declared a failure on September 29, while another two bidders, Nortima Ltd. and to Frunze-Flora, failed to receive their deposits.
