The higher anti-corruption court sentenced former member of the Verkhovna Rada Dmytro Kryuchkov to 15 years in prison with confiscation of all property in absentia. He was accused of embezzling the funds of Cherkasioblenergo and Zaporizhzhyaoblenergo companies.
This was reported by the Anti-Corruption Center on Thursday, January 9.
It is reported that Kryuchkov went abroad at the beginning of last year and did not return. The reason for leaving was that he has five children. Before that, he left for a few days and returned, but on February 15 he left for abroad and did not return. He participated in court sessions via video link and reported that he has the right to permanent residence in Monaco.
The judges also found Kryuchkov’s accomplice, Svitlana Kuzminska, the former acting head of the board of PJSC “Cherkasioblenergo”, guilty. She was sentenced to 8 years in prison with confiscation of half of her property.
It should be noted that Kryuchkova was indicted for two episodes of assigning losses to Zaporizhzhyaoblenergo and Cherkasioblenergo companies by transferring debts between the companies. They relate to the period when Kryuchkov held the position of the chairman of the board of PrJSC “Energomerezh Holding Company”. The total losses to energy supply companies in the case exceed 1.5 billion hryvnias, of which more than 315 million were compensated during the pre-trial investigation.
In October 2024, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court (SAC) granted the request of the SAP prosecutor and declared ex-Nardeput Dmytro Kryuchkov on the international wanted list.
In November 2024, the High Anti-Corruption Court chose Kryuchkov as a preventive measure in the form of arrest, when he had already fled abroad.
