The labor collective of OJSC "Lutsk Automobile Plant" addressed the President of Ukraine, the Prime Minister of Ukraine, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the head of the Volyn Regional State Administration with the following statement. On the night of August 6-7, a robbery attack was carried out on the general director of OJSC "Lutsk Automobile Plant," Volodymyr Hunchyk. Returning at one o'clock in the morning from Kyiv, where he was on business for his enterprise, Volodymyr Petrovych left his car in the parking lot and headed toward his building. Near the entrance door, four criminals attacked Volodymyr Hunchyk, who first beat him severely and then took his documents, money, and mobile phone. According to the doctors' diagnosis, Volodymyr Petrovych has been recorded as having a concussion, fractured ribs, and numerous bruises — he is currently in serious condition in intensive care. The plant's collective expresses outrage over what happened and considers this incident a planned provocation aimed at intimidating LuAZ workers. Despite the fact that the criminals tried to disguise their attack as a robbery, it is clear that there is no need to beat a person so brutally in order to take material valuables from him. Moreover, given the situation that has developed around our plant over the past year, we do not believe in the accidental nature of the robbery attack on our director. Let us recall that pressure on LuAZ began in September of last year, when, at the initiative of the Administration of the President of Ukraine, the plant's investment program was canceled. Simultaneously with this, the enterprise was overwhelmed by a wave of inspections by tax administrations at various levels, which at a certain point virtually paralyzed the work of our plant. However, we were able to withstand it and ultimately turn the situation around. A month ago, on July 6, the Commercial Court of Volyn Oblast canceled the decision of the State Tax Administration of Ukraine on additional tax assessments in accordance with the enterprise's inspection reports and recognized as unlawful the grounds that formed the basis of the accusations against our plant. On the same day, the Court of Appeal of Volyn Oblast granted Volodymyr Hunchyk's complaint regarding the unlawfulness of the Volyn Oblast State Tax Administration's opening of a criminal case against LuAZ managers on charges of tax evasion. This became proof of our correctness in the completely fabricated conflict with the Tax Administration, which was initiated by the Presidential Administration with the full connivance of executive authorities and the prosecutor's office. In July, it seemed to us that we had finally achieved a final victory and that our plant had been left alone. But the people who tried to bring our plant to its knees could not come to terms with their defeat. Having exhausted the set of administrative methods of struggle against the LuAZ labor collective, they decided to resort to a direct crime against the general director. By organizing a robbery attack on Volodymyr Petrovych Hunchyk, the current authorities once again demonstrated their criminal face and once again signed their own verdict. We state with full responsibility: we are not afraid of the criminals who have today dug in in high offices, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that they answer under the law for all their illegal actions.
