Warsaw Car Factory is making itself felt again. However, this is not because the new mall and exhibition was built in place of the old factories. The procedure in which the State Treasury seeks payment of PLN 250 million for non-performance of the obligations arising from the contract is pending in the Warsaw District Court. The main part of the claim is the amount corresponding to the total sum of the FSO liabilities that were to be converted into shares for the creditors of that time.

The defendant is a Ukrainian investor, or Zaporoski Zakład Budowy Samochodów known as Awto-ZAZ. In 2005, a Ukrainian company for a symbolic PLN 100 bought from the Treasury 19.9% ​​of the shares, thanks to which it won 84.31% of the votes at the general meeting. At the time, it was hoped that through privatization, by selling to a Ukrainian investor, FSO would be able to protect itself from bankruptcy. The buyer is committed not only to continue the operation of the factory, but also to maintain employment and increase production under the program. five-year investment. He was also relying on the introduction of new car models with the code names T-250 and T-255. Investments were to reach 80 million euros

The choice of Awto-ZAZ was not a coincidence. About 90% went to the Ukrainian company. all the production of the FSO factories at that time. In the east, FSO Lanos cars produced in Warsaw were sent (Matiz was sent to the domestic market). The production of the popular model has been gradually extinguished at the price of a completely different car, Chevrolet Aveo (its production began in November 2007).

Little Aveo in Żerań thanks the licensing agreement that the new owner of FSO has entered into with the American group General Motors. Three versions have been created on the Vistula: three gates (from winter 2008), five gates (from the summer of 2008) and a four – door sedan (from 2007). Aveo was also the latest model produced in Warsaw factories. In February 2011, the last copy left the production line. Shortly after, the dismantling of GM's aircraft began. It was only eight months missing to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the factory

Aveo production was not resumed later, nor the production of another model n & # 39; 39, began. Instead of cars in FSO, household products and toys were created. Car sales and service sales were also conducted. The Ukrainian owner of FSO, however, was not inactive at the time. According to information provided by the Samar Institute, the Ukrainian company explained that she was looking for a new strategic partner who would start producing cars for a long time and without success. The research, however, took place in an extremely unfavorable period, due to overcapacity in Europe, the factories were closed and unopened (among others: Opel in Antwerp and German Bochum, Peugeot-Citroen in Aulnay -sous-Bois in France and Ford in the Belgian Genk

As part of the restructuring of the UkrAvto group, FSO has changed its owner.In the place of Awto-ZAZ, a mysterious Cypriot legal entity has emerged.It has been tasked with managing assets that only produce no cars.C is a shareholder known as Alemeda Investments LTD headquartered in Limassol – the second largest city of Cyprus.Already in 2015, he was the owner of 95 percent. FSO In November 2016 as a holder of more than 70,000 totaling more than 99%. of share capital announced a forced redemption of registered shares.

According to the counselor of the Prosecutor General's Office quoted by Samar, the sale of shares does not affect the proceedings pending before the Warsaw District Court. The dissertation continues, and the pages are exchanged in procedural briefs.
