Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office have completed the investigation into a scheme to seize state funds due to the illegal use of the mechanisms of the European Court of Human Rights.
This is reported by NABU.
According to the investigation, the former People’s Deputy of Ukraine organized a scheme that allowed the controlled enterprise “Zolotoy Mandarin Oil” to receive funds twice for the same debt. The organizer of the scheme hid abroad for a long time, using the immunity of a relative of the ECtHR judge, but in 2026 the case will finally be brought to court.
The criminal scheme was based on misleading the ECtHR regarding the conflict between Zolotoi Mandarin Oil and Kyivenergo PJSC. In 2013, the suspects appealed to an international institution with a complaint that the state has allegedly been failing to comply with a court decision on debt recovery from Kyivenergo for years. At the same time, the perpetrators hid the fact that the right to claim this debt had already been sold to another company for a similar amount, and the applicant company itself had signs of being fictitious and was under arrest due to debts to the state bank.
The implementation of the plan became possible thanks to the collusion of the ex-deputy with the then leadership of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. The Government Commissioner for ECHR affairs prepared a declaration on “friendly settlement of the dispute”, by which Ukraine actually admitted guilt for not complying with the decision in a private dispute. This made it possible to transfer UAH 54.179 million from the state budget to the accounts of the controlled company, after which the money was legalized through conversion centers. Currently, six participants of the scheme and the organizer are facing severe punishment for embezzlement and money laundering in particularly large amounts.
On October 20, 2025, the Appellate Chamber of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) granted permission to carry out a special pre-trial investigation into former People’s Deputy Heorhiy Logvynskyi. He is suspected of organizing the seizure of over 54 million hryvnias from the state budget, which belonged to the Golden Mandarin Oil company.
Logvynskyi, who became the seventh suspect in the “Golden Mandarin” case, is suspected of organizing the acquisition and legalization of funds, whose actions are qualified under Part 5 of Art. 191, Part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The Anti-Corruption Center clarified that among the accused is former People’s Deputy Oleksandr Granovskyi, who left Ukraine in August 2019 and has an Israeli passport.
We will remind you that back in 2023, NABU announced a wanted list for former People’s Deputy Heorhiy Logvynskyi. He is suspected of organizing the seizure of more than UAH 54 million from the state budget by the Golden Mandarin Oil company.
Earlier, the Higher Anti-Corruption Court rejected the NABU detective’s request to detain in absentia the former People’s Deputy from the “People’s Front” Heorhiy Logvynskyi. It is about the “Golden Tangerine” case.
