Poltavaoblenergo management is suspected of fraud with 275 million transformers

Another energy scandal is unfolding in the Poltava region. The Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine reported the suspicion of the Chairman of the Board of Poltavaoblenergo, his deputy and financial director. According to the investigation, the topsman of the company turned a large -scale tax fraction, causing losses to the state budget for UAH 49.5 million.

According to the investigation, the officials of the power company organized the purchase of transformer equipment as if from Turkey. The total amount of the operation is about UAH 275 million. However, everything happened only on paper: no actual imports, no real supply.

The purchase was made through a fictitious firm that disappeared immediately after the "agreement". Thus, Poltavaoblenergo was able to artificially overestimate the costs of the enterprise and significantly reduce the amount of income tax.

As a result, the budget did not receive UAH 49.5 million. It is this amount that law enforcement officers are now considered a direct consequence of the criminal scheme. All three defendants have already reported suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - tax evasion in particularly large amounts.

The procedural guidance in the case is carried out by the Office of the Prosecutor General, operational support - the Security Service of Ukraine. The names of the suspects are not disclosed at this time, but the sources in law enforcement do not exclude that the investigation will subsequently receive an international dimension - given the alleged "Turkish" origin of products.

Poltavaoblenergo is one of the regional energy companies that provides electricity distribution in the region. The owners of the enterprise are several large business groups. In the past, the company has already appeared in scandals related to opaque tenders and questionable contractors.

This time we are talking about a scheme in which fictitious counterparties, documents with false data, and huge amounts that disappear in "paper" transformers.

The case is being investigated. If the defendants are proved, they are threatened with up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
