On July 25, 2023, by decision of the Minister of Development and Technology, pursuant to the Law of April 13, 2022 On Special Solutions for Counteracting Support for Aggression against Ukraine and Serving to Protect National Security, [1] temporary receivership was established at Boerner Service Ltd.
It was established for a period of 6 months in order to dispose of the Boerner Service company’s financial resources, funds and economic resources.
Earlier, by decision of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration on May 29, 2023, Boerner Sevice was included in the list of entities for which the solutions listed in the aforementioned law are to be justified.[2]
The reason for this was the origin of the company’s largest customers from a Group controlled by two Russian businessmen (the real beneficiaries),[3] who were included in the sanctions lists created after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The effect of this decision was to freeze all activities of the company, which from then on could not pay, order, sell, produce. Thus, it was removed from business and could not continue to operate in the market.
June 2, 2023. The head of the Internal Security Agency applied to the Minister of Development and Technology for the establishment of temporary receivership over Boerner Service.
The measure was deemed necessary to ensure the operation of the business entity due to its importance in the construction materials market and to maintain employment
