The National Police of Ukraine has announced in the state and international wanted for the former head of a large oil refining concern, which is suspected of stealing funds.
The investigation found that the official created a criminal organization to which he involved his deputy, the head of one of the departments and six entrepreneurs.
They all acted according to a clearly planned scheme, the purpose of which was to seize the property of the concern in particularly large sizes.
According to the operatives of the Department of Strategic Investigations, the company -controlled organizer concluded contracts for the supply of petroleum products with the refining corporation, but did not make the actual payment for these goods.
The funds thus obtained were legalized through accounts with foreign banks, which allowed to conceal the traces of the crime and complicated the investigation for law enforcement.
The total amount of losses caused to the state and the company reached UAH 5.8 billion.
Police investigators have already declared nine participants of this organized group of suspicion of seizing someone else’s property through abuse of office, committed by an organized group, in particularly large amounts.
The actions of the suspects are qualified under Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for a sentence of up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
In the framework of the investigation, police have arrested in securities accounts of a French investment company, which is related to the expert of the concern, as well as to corporate rights of a number of enterprises.
This allows you to partially protect the assets from further illegal withdrawal and allow them to be returned to the state after the trial is completed.
We will remind, in Donetsk region law enforcement officers exposed and detained the commander of one of the battalions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who organized a scheme of systematic extortion of money from subordinates for accrual of “combat” payments.
We have already reported that in Nikolaev, employees of the Security Service of Ukraine detained a 30-year-old resident who is suspected of collaboration with the enemy.
