According to information received from our source in the President's Office, the case against Artem Shil has gone to court. Oleg Tatarov, who has a direct connection with the appointment of Shil to the position, personally decides the issue of this. Bankova was already aware of the possible arrest of Shil by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office. It should be noted that Shil was recently dismissed from his position in the department of counterintelligence protection of the economy of the Security Service of Ukraine.
The case concerns Artem Shil, a former adviser to the President's Office, who is suspected of creating a group involved in the embezzlement of 94.8 million hryvnias of the funds of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia". According to the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court, Shyla must pay a bail of 30 million hryvnias.
"Bail in the amount of 30 million hryvnias, determined by the decision of the High Anti-Corruption Court as an alternative to a preventive measure in the form of detention, has been deposited," the High Anti-Corruption Court reported on Thursday.
The bail decision was made in the context of accusations against Shil, who previously worked in the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Anti-corruption authorities previously uncovered the activities of an organized group that seized 94.8 million hryvnias during the purchase of transformers during martial law. This group was created in 2021 in order to control the finances of Ukrzaliznytsia. "From June to December 2022, its leader, with the help of his officials who were under his influence at Ukrzaliznytsia, organized the selection of certain companies as suppliers of power transformers," the prosecutor's office informs.
