🔈 In Spain, a 40-year-old Artem Kyryushyn was detained; he is suspected of organizing a scheme to embezzle more than 71 million hryvnias through heating tariffs in Ivano-Frankivsk.
.
In the wanted persons database he is listed as wanted on suspicion of creating a criminal organization and embezzling property on an especially large scale. The organized criminal group was formed around 2020. According to law enforcement, it included five people, with the organizer coordinating their actions.
Three companies appear in the case materials: LLC “Ivano-Frankivsk Teploenergo,” LLC “Ivano-Frankivsk Tehlogeneratsiya,” and LLC “Zakhidni Teplosystemy.”
Investigators believe the scheme participants influenced the formation of tariffs for thermal energy. In particular, they submitted false calculations to local authorities to set their service rates: they inflated costs of heat production by increasing boiler house rent, manipulated figures for losses during heat transmission, and embedded additional profit into the respective tariffs.
As a result of inflated heat production costs, they may have embezzled 15,67 million hryvnias. Another 55,53 million hryvnias relate to heat transportation tariffs.
The man left Ukraine on 8 June 2025. In December of the same year he was notified of suspicion, and on 5 January 2026 — of an amendment to the previously notified suspicion and a new suspicion. He is charged with creating and leading a criminal organization, embezzling property on an especially large scale, and knowingly submitting false information to official documents (part 1 of Art. 255, part 4 of Art. 28, part 5 of Art. 191, part 1 of Art. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The man reported by email that he was living in Austria, but no confirmed location was established at that time. After Kyryushyn’s arrest in Spain, the Ukrainian side is preparing a request for his extradition.
