NABU detectives, in cooperation with SAPO prosecutors, uncovered a scheme of overpriced sales of coke-chemical fuel at the State Enterprise "Ukrspyrt". According to the investigation, in 2017-2020, Ukrspyrt announced tenders for the procurement of coke-chemical fuel, in which pre-selected private companies were declared winners. These companies supplied over 20,000 tons of fuel at prices higher than the market average. To create an illusion of transparency in the auctions, several fake participants were involved.
The former acting CEO of the State Enterprise "Coal Company "Krasnolymanska" is suspected of causing UAH 336 million in losses and environmental harm exceeding UAH 210 million. The suspicion notice was served on May 25. Thanks to the timely actions of detectives and prosecutors, the corrupt scheme was exposed and stopped: in 2019, a court ordered to annul the contract between the state enterprise and an intermediary company. Thus, further damage to the state was prevented.
