According to the investigation, the deputy chief engineer for energy saving and energy supply of the Pavlohrad Mechanical Plant of the State Enterprise "PO Pivdenny Machine-Building Plant named after O.M. Makarov", who organized and carried out the criminal scheme, was served with a notice of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
