According to hvylya.net: The State Bureau of Investigation reported suspicions against a businessman from Lviv and the detention of the former head of 'Ukrenergo' for involvement in fraud to the detriment of a state enterprise. The organization of the scheme during tenders for the reconstruction of energy systems and the falsification of documents for the registration of a legal entity were the main aspects of the criminal activities of the suspects.
