A relative of Mindich and two “necessary” firms: the case of embezzling 132,5 million from Kharkivoblenergo sent to court
NABU and SAP referred the case of eight group members to court. According to the investigation, in 2021 year, through two preselected firms they purchased 11 904 units of transformer equipment and 79 425 meters and components, inflating the cost by ₴132,5 million. Individual components became up to five times more expensive.
Transformers were purchased from LLC “EK ‘Energo-Taym’” — the contract initially amounted to ₴327,94 million; meters — from LLC “KHETZ ‘Energomira’.” According to the investigative materials, just on undelivered transformers the difference between Energo-Taym’s prices and the manufacturers’ reached ₴110,89 million. Among the accused are Leonid Mindich, a cousin of businessman Timur Mindich, and former head of Kharkivoblenergo Kostiantyn Lohvynenko. Actual damages are estimated at ₴12,5 million: the rest of the scheme, according to NABU and SAP, was not implemented in time due to martial law and detectives’ intervention.
