“At that time, the alienation of property was prohibited due to a moratorium, but the official involved an appraiser who artificially lowered the value from at least UAH 59 million to UAH 6.5 million.

“In fact, these vessels were in India, and the controlled company had nothing to do with their maintenance,” the detectives note.
