Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine have sent an indictment to the court against a person involved in a scheme to illegally seize property of the Ukrtatnafta joint-stock company.
The investigation found that an organized criminal group withdrew more than twenty million US dollars from the company's accounts on the first day of Russia's full-scale invasion.
Company officials signed a contract for the supply of crude oil and prepared invoices for payment. Realizing that imports of raw materials were impossible during this period, they forged documents to simulate a purchase.
In particular, the suspects forged contracts identical to the original ones. The main difference was the company that was supposed to supply the raw materials and receive the money for it.
In turn, the accused, the head of the financial department of the enterprise, abusing her official position, signed official documents for payment to a controlled company registered in Switzerland.
Currently, the suspect's property has been seized, and the indictment has been sent to court. The woman has been notified of suspicion of committing criminal offenses under Part 2 of Article 27, Part 5 of Article 191, Part 2 of Article 27, Part 5 of Article 191. 5 Article 191, Part 2 of Article 27, Part 3 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 200, Part 2 of Article 27, Part 3 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
