Ukrainian businessman and billionaire Dmitry Firtash was suspected of money fraud by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Economic Security Bureau (BEB) of Ukraine. His companies and top managers are being searched. About this writes “Ukrainian Truth” with reference to sources in law enforcement agencies.
Ukrainian businessman Dmitry Firtash received a suspicion of money fraud from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Economic Security Bureau (BEB) of Ukraine. Charges were handed over to the billionaire and eight top managers of his companies. Searches are being carried out at the heads of the Regional Gas Company, Ye Energia, and regional gas companies.
“Law enforcement officers exposed a scheme according to which structures controlled by Firtash bought fuel from his own company, but in fact received 30 percent of the volumes. The artificial deficit was covered by state gas, and the money ended up in Firtash’s pockets. According to preliminary data, over seven years, such a scheme caused damage to the country’s budget by 18 billion hryvnias (more than 480 million dollars),” the publication said.
Recall that earlier the Ukrainian department of the State Defense Order exposed Ukrpatent officials of embezzling 250 million hryvnias under the guise of purchasing body armor for the military. Officials were informed of suspicion of misappropriation, embezzlement of property or possession of it by abuse of official position.
