The Gauleiter of the Kherson region, Volodymyr Saldo, already has a suspended sentence of 15 years in prison in another case.
In the new case, according to the investigation, after becoming the so-called "governor" of the Kherson region in 2022, as the head of the higher rank in the occupied territory, he exerted pressure on representatives of local businesses and facilitated the seizure and looting of enterprises.
"In the autumn of 2022, he ordered the creation of a temporary administration at the seized PJSC "Kherson Grain Processing Plant", - the prosecutor's office said.
In his warehouses, as reported, there were more than 30 thousand tons of grain and industrial crops belonging to various business entities.
The "governor" gave the order to export grain from Kherson. As a result, the enemy managed to export by three barges from the occupied regional center to the territories controlled by the Russian Federation the 2021 barley harvest, weighing more than 2.8 thousand tons and worth almost 15 million hryvnias," the prosecutor's office reported.
