In the Kyiv region, an underground oil depot with a falsification of 8 million was exposed

The Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, together with law enforcement officers, eliminated an illegal oil depot that supplied counterfeit fuel to the gas stations in the region. The large -scale operation seized fuel and equipment for more than UAH 8 million and cash exceeding UAH 18 million.

According to the prosecutor's office, under the procedural guidance, investigators conducted sanctioned searches at once at several objects: in the territory of the oil depot, at gas stations, as well as in trucks with tanks.

During investigative actions, seized:

  • 29 fuel storage tanks;

  • gas distribution column and 6 fuel columns;

  • pumping equipment used for product pumping;

  • trucks with tanker trucks;

  • financial and economic documents, "rough accounting", mobile phones;

  • cash for over UAH 18 million, which probably came from the illegal sale of fuel.

The investigation found that the organized group was engaged in the manufacture of substandard fuel without a corresponding license, which was subsequently implemented at commercial gas stations. According to preliminary estimates, only the cost of seized fuel and lubricants exceeds UAH 8 million.

The proceedings were opened under Part 1 and Part 3 of Article 204 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - illegal production, storage, sale or transportation of excisable goods. Under this article, the persons involved in up to 10 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.

Examination of the seized substances and the check of financial documentation are currently underway. The investigation aims to install a complete chain of falsification, in particular - a network of gas stations that traded counterfeit, as well as a number of persons who provided logistics, cover and "white" documents for "black" fuel.

Law enforcement officers promise further revelations. The case has all the signs of a large -scale fuel scam with millions of circulation and shadow bonds.
