⚖️⚖️⚖️⚖️ Million-dollar thefts involving transformers: referred to court⚖️
8 members of an organized group will stand trial, whom the NABU and SAP accuse of large-scale thefts at JSC Kharkivoblenergo.
In 2021 the scheme’s organizer took personal control of procurement of power equipment at JSC Kharkivoblenergo. He also took steps to extend his influence over tenders at other state-owned enterprises in the energy sector.
Following the scheme organizer’s instructions, the head of JSC Kharkivoblenergo ensured the signing of contracts to purchase power equipment (transformers and meters) with controlled companies at prices sometimes inflated several times over. Other heads of structural divisions of JSC Kharkivoblenergo, an employee of the Kharkiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and a private appraiser were also involved in carrying out the scheme.
In this way, in the years 2021–2022 the members of the organized group planned to seize more than 132 million UAH from JSC Kharkivoblenergo, but due to circumstances beyond their control—caused by the imposition of martial law and by procedural actions carried out by detectives of the National Bureau—they were forced to abandon completing the plan, executing it only partially. The proceeds were laundered through a network of controlled sham companies, then converted to cash and divided among them.
