Law enforcement officers uncovered a scheme to seize electrical energy without paying for it, and three participants were informed of suspicions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Prosecutor General’s Office was notified<\/a> about this.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the investigation, due to the relevant scheme, Ukrenergo companies suffered losses of 168 million hryvnias.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was established that the participants in the scheme were the director of a commercial enterprise, the former director of an electricity supplier company, and a responsible official of Ukrenergo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The director of a commercial enterprise and the former director of an electricity supplier are charged with embezzlement of Ukrenergo funds, and the company official is charged with abuse of office in order to obtain an unlawful benefit for another legal entity.<\/span><\/p>\n

As noted, the latter specifically did not apply the necessary response measures to the electricity supplier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The investigation found that officials of the industrial enterprise proposed to conclude an agreement on the supply of electricity with a controlled supplier. However, they did not plan to pay for it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“At the same time, the electricity supplier, according to the investigation, did not purchase electricity in the prescribed manner, but received it at the expense of imbalances formed by the transmission system operator. Mandatory payments for imbalances were not made,” the UCP explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of the actions of the defendants, more than 82 thousand MWh of electricity were released, the cost of which is estimated at over 168 million UAH. The Prosecutor General’s Office emphasizes that this caused material damage to Ukrenergo and led to negative consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

During searches at the suspects’ residences, law enforcement officers seized records and documents that have evidentiary value.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a reminder, NABU and SAPO are conducting a large-scale operation “Midas” to expose corruption in the energy sector<\/a> . According to the investigation, the activities of a high-level criminal organization were established, which controlled financial flows and personnel decisions in state energy structures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is known that journalists from “Schemes” identified the names of individuals whom NABU detectives reported suspicious<\/a> as part of an investigation into corruption in the energy sector, including Timur Mindich.<\/p>\n
