Million-dollar schemes at Ukrzaliznytsia: how top management funnels wagons to selected companies
Rails, millions, and a circle of protection: it’s heating up again in #Укрзалізниця, as large-scale abuse of wagon resources gains new momentum. Chairman of the board of JSC Ukrzaliznytsia Oleksandr #Перцовський and director of the “Center for Transport Logistics” branch #ЦТЛ Ivan #Трибіс organized a scheme that drains profits from the state enterprise to benefit chosen private players. A number of controllers and executors joined this arrangement, including the head of the revenue audit department of the internal audit department, Fomichova, who for some reason “did not notice” the financial holes.
📌The essence of the scheme lies in manual control of auctions and the creation of privileged conditions for certain companies, in particular LLC “#Грейнсвард.” Officials held a 131 auction using the so-called “Dutch” procedure. Instead of filling the state budget, these bids were turned into a tool to lower service prices and enrich the right people.
Despite official orders and criminal proceeding No. 42026110000000098, investigated by the Criminal Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv region, Ivan Trybis continues to run the branch and carry out similar procurements.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg. ❗️Also in law enforcement’s focus is criminal proceeding No. 12023000000000018 concerning losses of hundreds of thousands of hryvnias. At the Slobidka station an empty wagon designated for the same LLC “Grainsvard” got stuck 41. The station chief simply ignored the duty to draw up GU-23a form reports.
As a result, the company avoided paying fines for excessive wagon stay, and Ukrzaliznytsia lost 440 764 hryvnias. Despite cases opened since 2023, no figure has yet been notified of suspicion.
In connection with this, we pose direct questions to the management of Ukrzaliznytsia and law enforcement agencies:
▪️ Why have the director of the “Center for Transport Logistics” branch, Ivan Trybis, and other participants in the criminal schemes not yet been suspended from their positions and notified of suspicion?
▪️ What real measures have been taken to verify the involvement of Ukrzaliznytsia’s leadership and Olena Fomichova in covering up losses and failing to charge fines to LLC “Grainsvard”?
▪️ Does the company’s management intend to recover damages and penalty sanctions from the offending companies that for years have used privileges at the expense of the state enterprise?
✅We at NGO “NON-STOP UKRAINE” will not sit by and watch this legal nihilism, so we have already sent the relevant requests. We demand a full report on the course of investigations, seizure of the organizers’ assets, issuance of deserved suspicions, and bringing all involved officials to account.
