Kyiv • UNN
The case of seizing over UAH 13.8 billion of "Ukrnafta" funds has been transferred to the court. Among the accused are former officials of the company and directors of commercial enterprises.
Seven suspects in the case of misappropriation of property and funds of PJSC "Ukrnafta" for more than UAH 13.8 billion have been sent to the dock.
This is reported by UNN with reference to SAP.
As UNN learned from its own sources, it is, in particular, about the former acting chairman of the board of "Ukrnafta" Oleksiy Kushch and the former deputy head of the oil, gas and oil and gas processing products sales department of the company Nataliya Kernytska.
On March 25, 2025, the SAP prosecutor, based on the materials of the pre-trial investigation of the NABU, sent an indictment to the court against 7 people, including the former acting chairman of the board of PJSC "Ukrnafta", the deputy head of the oil, gas and oil and gas processing products sales department of PJSC "Ukrnafta", the head of the department for control over the accounting and supply of oil and petroleum products of PJSC "Ukrnafta", as well as the former directors of 4 commercial enterprises, on charges of misappropriation of property and funds of PJSC "Ukrnafta" in the amount of more than 13 billion hryvnias
It is reported that during the pre-trial investigation carried out by NABU detectives, it was established that officials of 5 commercial enterprises, in collusion with officials of PJSC "Ukrnafta", who, despite the requirements of current legislation, which provides for advance payment for the supply of oil, without its implementation during March-August 2015, supplied oil to commercial enterprises with a total value of more than UAH 10 billion, which was seized by officials of these enterprises, causing losses to PJSC "Ukrnafta" in the specified amount.
It was also established that in July 2015, officials of PJSC "Ukrnafta" concluded 70 contracts with a commercial enterprise for the supply of petroleum products worth over UAH 3 billion to PJSC "Ukrnafta", which in turn made an advance payment in full.
However, PJSC "Ukrnafta" subsequently concluded additional agreements on postponing the supply of petroleum products until the end of 2018, which the commercial enterprise never supplied, and the cash paid in advance was seized by the company's officials and subsequently transferred to the accounts of non-resident enterprises.
The actions of the persons are qualified under Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - appropriation of someone else's property in particularly large amounts by abuse of office by an official, committed repeatedly, by prior conspiracy by a group of persons
It is noted that today the indictment against 7 persons has been sent to court. The case against one of the directors of a private enterprise was closed due to the death of the person.
