The Supreme Court continued the investigation into the embezzlement of funds from the Izmail port

The Supreme Anti-Corruption Court has extended the pre-trial investigation into the embezzlement of funds from the Izmail Sea Port until April 11.
The court made this decision on February 4, reports Slovo i Dilo.
This concerns the investigation of a case on suspicion of businessman Serhiy Solovyov, ex-director of the State Enterprise Izmail Sea Commercial Port Andriy Erokhin and two other persons in the embezzlement of UAH 24 million.
Earlier, the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court applied a preventive measure to the ex-head of the port Erokhin in the form of a bail of UAH 908,400 with obligations. The court set a bail of UAH 3.02 million for businessman Solovyov, and UAH 757,000 and UAH 908,400 for accomplices Serhiy Pavlenko and Kateryna Alyoshenkova, respectively.
Recall, earlier NABU and Special Anti-corruption Prosecutor’s Office exposed an organized group that seized more than 24 million UAH of the state enterprise “Izmail Sea Trade Port”.
The scheme operated in 2022-2023 and involved inflating the cost of equipment and goods. The participants of the organized group had access to official information about future purchases and determined the “winners” of the tenders in advance.
