Rinat Akhmetov’s DTEK assets have been illegally privatized and their return to the state ownership will look not like reprivatization or nationalization, but like a return of the wrongfully amortized property.
“I wouldn’t call this nationalization. Nationalization is the global process, when the state due to some political or economical reasons takes some property from its owners. In this case DTEK assets, that have been fishily privatized, have to return to their legal owner – the state”, said the Ukrainian businessman Konstantin Grigorishin.
He said that the state was an ineffective owner, but very often oligarchs proved to be even less effective, especially when none controlled them. (Ukrainian metal)
