In Volyn, a member of a group that financed occupation structures and supplied products from a seized factory to the Russian Federation was detained
Under the procedural supervision of the Luhansk Regional Prosecutor’s Office, a 67-year-old member of an organized group was detained in Volyn; she is accused of financing occupation structures in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk region. She had been wanted for three years.
The woman worked as the chief accountant of a machine-building enterprise in Bryanka that manufactured mining equipment. In 2015 the company was illegally re-registered by the occupation authorities and continued operating on the seized territory. Its products were supplied to the Russian Federation, and “taxes” and “customs payments” were paid to the budget of the so-called “LPR.”
According to the investigation, the detainee was responsible for transferring funds to the budget of the occupation grouping. From December 2016 to January 2020 she ensured payments of more than 3,8 million Russian rubles.
In addition, she was appointed director of a like-named enterprise registered on territory under Ukraine’s control. According to the investigation, this company was used to legalize products that were then illegally supplied to the Russian Federation.
The organized group also included the factory owner — a former “deputy of the People’s Council of the LPR” — and two company managers.
In 2023 all participants were informed of suspicion under part 4 of article 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — financing actions committed with the aim of changing the borders of the territory or state border of Ukraine, by an organized group. The accused were declared wanted, and the case materials are under court consideration.
The woman was detained in Volyn when she attempted to enter Ukraine via the Republic of Belarus to arrange social payments. She is currently in custody.
Pursuant to article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent until their guilt is proven by a guilty verdict of the court.
