Dubnevich case

According to the investigation, Dubnevich, during 2013-2017, organized a scheme for the theft of gas by officials of the Novoyavorovskaya and Novorazdelskaya CHPPs under his control in the amount of more than 2.1 billion hryvnia.

Thermal power plants have concluded a number of agreements on the purchase of natural gas from Naftogaz of Ukraine at a preferential price. But the participants in the scheme used the purchased cheap gas not to produce heat for the population, but for private business. Namely, for the production of electricity sold through the Energorynok enterprise at a market price.

According to NABU calculations, participants in the scheme received illegal income in the amount of more than 3.5 billion hryvnia.

During 2013-2018, the people's deputy organized the laundering of part of the money - 450 million hryvnia. To do this, he used controlled companies and offshore companies in Cyprus and the Marshall Islands. Finally, the funds returned to Ukraine in the form of foreign investment for a new business in the Lviv region.

On October 10, suspicion was announced to Dubnevich. He became the sixth suspect in this case. At the same time, the people’s deputy did not arrive to receive the suspicion, and did not answer calls from detectives.

The people's deputy's lawyers stated that they did not know where the parliamentarian was. Prosecutors did not find the people's deputy at any address available to the investigation.
