The SBU detained a top manager of a seized enterprise in the Lviv region who had been wanted for 3 years for collaborating with the Russians.
The Security Service detained in Volyn an accomplice of the enemy who had been wanted for 3 years for collaborating with the Russians in the temporarily occupied part of Ukraine.
According to the investigation, the suspect is the former chief accountant of one of the seized enterprises in Luhansk region, which manufactures equipment for the Russian Federation’s coal industry.
The arrest of the perpetrator took place in one of Ukraine’s western regions, where she had arrived to take care of personal matters.
It has been established that the accomplice of the aggressor state in 2015 participated in the “re-registration” of the production facility with the occupation “justice bodies of the LNR.”
After that, the enterprise established regular deliveries of finished products to Russian mines, and the profits obtained were sent to the Russian budget in the form of “taxes.”
It was documented that in the period from September 2016 to January 2020 the suspect transferred more than 1,5 million, in the hryvnia equivalent, into the occupiers’ treasury.
The investigation found that the woman acted as part of a criminal group that also included the plant owner — a former “deputy of the People’s Council of the LNR” — and two “general directors” who alternately led the seized enterprise.
Back in 2023, SBU investigators, in absentia, informed all suspects in the case of suspicion under part 4 of article 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing actions aimed at changing Ukraine’s territorial boundaries, committed by an organized group). After completing the investigation, the SBU sent the materials to court and placed the “chief accountant” and her accomplices on the wanted list.
The perpetrator is currently in custody. She faces up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
The comprehensive measures were carried out by officers of the SBU Main Directorate in Donetsk and Luhansk regions under the procedural supervision of the Luhansk Regional Prosecutor’s Office.
