Crocodile, Rolls-Royce and a penthouse with gold leaf: photos from searches in the case of possible embezzlement related to the protection of Kyiv region energy facilities have appeared.
Serhiy Sternenko published photographs from searches of the case’s suspects. They show a multi-level penthouse with marble columns, an indoor pool, a terrarium with a live crocodile, and a Rolls-Royce car. In one of the rooms hangs a portrait of businessman Vladyslav Sokolov.
🔻Sokolov is a businessman from Dnipro who was involved in metal products. In 2015 he worked as commercial director of the trading house “Metallurg” and ran for the Dnipropetrovsk regional council from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc “Solidarity,” but was not elected.
🔻According to the investigation’s materials, companies “Stal Plyus” and “TD Tryzub,” which supplied metal to contractors building protective structures at Kyiv region energy facilities, are connected to Sokolov.
The total value of 25 state contracts is 1,89 billion hryvnias. The police are investigating possible price inflation of metal products. The preliminarily calculated difference is about 20,8 million hryvnias.
