I don’t know about the ozone layer specifically, but reentry turns the satellite into danger dust – mostly metal oxides and burnt polymers. Ozone, being a very strong oxidizer, is the most likely to react with the hot debris, so it probably does damage the ozone layer, but I can’t quantify the damage, or the released pollutants.
