In the Kyiv region, a business owner was exposed for setting up an illegal fuel business. He involved an accountant at an oil depot, a deputy from one of the territorial communities, and other accomplices in the scheme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was reported by<\/a> the National Police of Ukraine<\/span><\/span> .<\/p>\n

According to the investigation, the amount of damage exceeds UAH 19.5 million, and the value of the seized property exceeds UAH 27 million.<\/p>\n

During the pre-trial investigation, officers of the National Police and detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine<\/span><\/span> established the location of the participants in the underground oil refining business scheme.<\/p>\n

The defendants in the case produced counterfeit fuel on the territory of an oil depot located in the Bila Tserkva district of the Kyiv region.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is known that the company to which the oil depot is registered does not have an appropriate license for such activities, but only officially pays for electricity.<\/p>\n

Another company has received a license to wholesale fuel at this address.<\/p>\n

The owner turned out to be a 52-year-old Kyiv resident who owns several other businesses of a similar profile.<\/p>\n

This allowed the use of a defunct oil refinery for the illegal production and sale of adulterated fuel.<\/p>\n

The criminals produced gasoline and diesel fuel by mixing raw materials and adding various additives. The products were sold through local farms, individuals, and a network of gas stations under the guise of high-quality fuel.<\/p>\n

The results of the examination revealed that the fuel did not meet the requirements of state standards (DSTU).<\/p>\n

The court seized the seized property, including fuel and lubricants, an oil depot, and vehicles with a total value of over UAH 27 million.<\/p>\n

All participants in the scheme face up to five years in prison with confiscation of property and destruction of illegally manufactured products, equipment, and raw materials.<\/p>\n

Earlier, “Pryamiy” reported<\/a> that on May 23, a 46-year-old man died in the premises of the territorial recruitment center in Ternopil. He was taken to clarify his military registration data. Law enforcement officers are investigating the case as a suicide.<\/p>\n

Also in Kyiv, law enforcement officers<\/a> detained a man suspected of shooting in the Sviatoshynskyi district of the capital. There were no casualties as a result of the incident, and investigators have opened proceedings under the article on hooliganism.<\/p>\n
