Kherson businessman Karl Sturen joined a housing construction cooperative in the Odesa region that owed money for land rent.
According to the analytical system YouControl, Sturen became one of the members of the housing construction cooperative “Azimut-S” on April 8.
“Azimut-S” has existed since 2012. The cooperative’s manager is listed as Odesa entrepreneur Vyacheslav Boyko.
In addition, among the cooperative’s members is another Odesa businessman and former director of the “Micron” plant, Vladyslav Vaisman, who previously appeared in a case concerning tax evasion.
Regarding the cooperative “Azimut-S”, since February of this year the Chornomorsk district prosecutor’s office has applied to the court in a case concerning the collection of debt from “Azimut-S”.
As stated in the court ruling, in the period from 2013 to 2015 the cooperative leased from the Dalnytsia village council of Odesa region a number of land plots in the resort village of Sanzhiyka and since then has owed 347 725 UAH in rent. Now the village council wants to terminate the previously concluded agreements and recover the debt through the court.
