Did not allow access to the interior

Delfi was unable to reach Insolvenza administrator K. Butkus on Thursday, but his position was established in media reports this week.

It is alleged that the court appointed a temporary administrator taking into account the aspirations of Lietuvos cukraus creditors to ensure the operation of the company at the beginning of the harvest season and the chaotic process of restructuring and management of the company underway.

“The court’s decision to grant provisional measures and order the entire administration was taken on September 4. The court also suspended the powers of Lina Minderienė, the already resigned director of Lietuvos Dujos, and Rimas Smolskas, director of the Cypriot company Hofenberg Limited, and the decision to close the restructuring case and initiate bankruptcy proceedings against Lietuvos Dujos. during the meeting, “the report reads.

According to K. Butkus, the entire management of the company is not a common phenomenon in Lithuania, but in this case such a decision will help to keep the company running for a period that is extremely important to her and to farmers throughout the region.

“The court considered three creditors whose total claims amounted to almost 90 percent. the sum of all statements, arguments. Despite the fact that the Lithuanian Court of Appeal determined that the true shareholder of Lietuvos cukraus is Arvi ir ko, significant attempts were made at the company on behalf of an unauthorized Cypriot company. Basically, the company was left without a legal manager, so its activities are likely to come to a standstill, ”K. Butkus is quoted.

It is stated that the administrator will organize the activities of Lietuvos cukraus, ensure compliance with contractual obligations, be able to conclude transactions on behalf of the company, manage bank accounts and take all necessary measures to ensure that all assets of Lietuvos Dujos are used solely in accordance with the bylaws of Lietuvos Dujos. to carry out economic and commercial activities and obtain the income from Lietuvos Sugar.

It was also reported that on Monday, September 7, K. Butkus had arrived at the company to carry out judicial functions, but had not been allowed to enter the Lietuvos Sugar facilities by people who presented themselves as employees of the company and the security service. .

Then the people who took over the company and ignored the court order blocked access to the company’s administration facilities by various means (blocked with a heavy excavator, cars, etc.).

On Tuesday, September 8, the administrator again demanded that the people who presented themselves as representatives of the company and the security service people leave the territory of the company and not interfere with the administrator’s obligations to transfer the security of the territory of the company to the security service hired by the administrator. The people who presented themselves as representatives of the company did not comply with these legal requirements.

On Wednesday, September 9, representatives of the administrator and the security service hired by him arrived again at the company, this time before the start of the works (in Lietuvos Dujru, the working day begins at 7 in the morning), but the local was blocked by 5 aggressive people, some seemed intoxicated “., – taught in the report.

Valdas Lebeda, one of the shareholders of Lietuvos Sugar’s main creditor, Žvalguva, did not speak much about the conflict in Marijampolė.

“There is a court decision made by the administrator, now that he takes care of all those bad things there, it will be made public,” he said.

“Things from the 90s are happening there,” Lebeda added.
