UAH 95 million was embezzled from Ukrzaliznytsia: a criminal group led by an ex-adviser to Bankova was exposed

The court has already seized UAH 53 million that are in the bank accounts of the supplier company

In Ukraine, a criminal group at Ukrzaliznytsia JSC was exposed, which seized UAH 94.7 million from the purchase of transformers at inflated prices during the war. The press service of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) reported this on Telegram.

According to NABU, from June to December 2022, the leader of the group, through controlled officials of Ukrzaliznytsia JSC, ensured the election of a predetermined company as a supplier of power transformers at an inflated cost.

In the headline for the news, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office claims that an organized group led by a former adviser to the Office of the President of Ukraine has been exposed. Further in the text there is no mention of the connection between the leader of the organized group and the OP. Sources of Economic Pravda reported that the group is headed by SBU officer and ex-adviser to the Presidential Office Artem Shilo.

Shilo organized the preparation and sending to Ukrzaliznytsia a letter “On threats to state security”, which became the basis for rejecting proposals from other procurement participants with significantly more favorable price conditions.

NABU noted that the winning company is controlled by a Belarusian citizen who has connections with the Russian Federation.

The Bureau noted that the “winner,” through a controlled laying company registered in Bulgaria, purchased transformers from a manufacturer in Uzbekistan and resold the UZ at a price artificially increased by almost double.

As a result of the implementation of the scheme during 2022-2024, Ukrzaliznytsia suffered losses in the amount of UAH 94.7 million, which the participants in the crime took possession of and disposed of at their own discretion.

The court has already seized UAH 53 million that are in the bank accounts of the supplier company.

The leader, co-organizer and two members of the organized group have now been detained.
