Anatoly Shkryblyak will answer to the law. The Prosecutor General’s Office is investigating purchases of coal from Belarusians and Russians 2023

Originally Syndicated on April 19, 2023 @ 9:34 am

The Prosecutor General’s Office intensified the investigation into the purchases of coal from the aggressor countries of Belarus and Russia by the companies of ex-People’s Deputy Anatoly Shkryblyak. 

The editors learned about this    from the materials of criminal proceedings No. 42020000000001477 under Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code.

The case is handled by the main investigative department of the National Police under the leadership of the Prosecutor General’s Office. It was established that a number of companies, during the formation of the tariff for the production of electricity and thermal energy, deliberately provided false information about the origin of coal, with the aim of significantly overestimating its cost, and later appropriated the received funds. We are talking about the companies of former People’s Deputy Anatoly Shkryblyak. It owns four CHP plants in Ukraine: TehNova LLC (Chernigovskaya), Evro-rekonstruktionsiya LLC (Darnytskaya), Sumyteploenergo LLC (Sumskaya) and Cherkasskoe Khimvolokno PJSC (Cherkasskaya).

The investigation considers that the owner and management of the specified enterprises indicated in their applications for NKREKU that coal supplies come from the countries of the European Union for the purpose of significant overcharging. In fact, it was transported by rail from the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, and the difference in the price, which was included in the tariff for the production of electric/thermal energy and the real cost of coal, was appropriated by the participants of the scheme.

Thus, the sending companies were specified as Ecoil Chemical LLC (RB), Novobyt Invest LLC (RB), Razrez Krasny Uglekop LLC (RF), Razrez Kiyzasskyi LLC (RF), Zheldorshaktotrans LLC (RB), LLC “Raspadskaya Ugolnaya Kompaniya” (RF), OO “Karbon Ugol” (RF) OO “Promugolservis” (RF).

With the aim of concealing the origin of coal and deliberately inflating its price, the Shkryblyak CHP conducted non-commodity transactions with companies with signs of fictitiousness LLC “Prime Bonus” (39363299), LLC “TD Snab Ugol Group” (39372759), LLC “Center of Exchange Operations” (42107859) .

The analysis of the tax reporting of the CHP, as well as its counterparties, indicates the presence of fictitious operations that do not have an economic character and have signs of transit with the purpose of directing funds to the shadow sector of the economy for their appropriation.

According to cargo customs declarations, the cargo could go in transit from Russia to Moldova, but on the way new recipients were entered in the declaration, and the coal went to the thermal power plant belonging to Shkryblyak, allegedly under contracts with foreign suppliers. Due to the participation in the scheme of controlled Ukrainian and foreign intermediary firms, the cost of delivery was significantly increased. Due to the so-called “margin”, the price of each ton was overestimated by an average of 18-25 dollars per ton, which, with the volume of deliveries to the CHP of 1.4 million tons per hour, gave the participants of the scam “into the shadows” about 30 million dollars annually. The scale of theft is impressive — from 2017 to 2019, more than three billion hryvnias were stolen from the state budget.

The case was investigated since August 2020, but it was activated only at the end of last year. Now the investigators will interrogate the employees of the CHP and the management of the companies with signs of fictitiousness, get access to things and documents that are in the possession of NKREKU, namely to the originals of the applications that were submitted there by OOO Evrorekonstruktsiya, OOO Sumyteploenergo, OOO Tekhnova and PJSC “Cherkasskoye Khimvolokno”.

 It is also necessary to obtain documents on the origin of coal from 2018. Also, the police decided to demand the tax reporting of supplier enterprises from the State Internal Revenue Service; to apply for international legal assistance to the countries of the European Union, to establish whether coal was actually supplied for the CHP and in what quantities.

Let us remind you that not all coal came to Ukraine from Russia and Belarus. Coal supplies from ORDLO for CHP owned by Shkryblyak were investigated by the police as part of criminal proceedings No. 42021100000000007 dated January 12, 2021. According to the materials, the foreign suppliers actually belong to Ukrainian businessmen Ruslan Hlushchenko, Dmytro Kovalenko and Yulia Ivanechka, who are involved in the smuggling of coal.

However, despite the suspicions about the supply of coal from ORDLO, Anatoly Shkryblyak is not a figure in the SBU investigations and is not mentioned by the National Security and Defense Council.

As a reminder, on December 21, the fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, was charged with two articles of the Criminal Code — aiding terrorism and treason. We are talking about the purchase of coal from the occupied territories of Donbass. The “coal case” concerns 2014-2015, when Ukraine was on the brink of an energy crisis due to Russia’s occupation of the Donbass. Then it was decided to buy coal from the South African Republic, however, deliveries were interrupted.

According to the SBU, in the course of 2015, at least 200 million hryvnias were transferred for the supply of coal from the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk and Donetsk regions to the militants of the self-proclaimed “LPR” and “DPR”, not counting the funds paid in cash, out of the planned more than 16 billion hryvnias.

The names of former president Petro Poroshenko, ex-head of the National Bank of Ukraine Valeria Gontareva, and ex-head of the Presidential Administration (2014-16) Boris Lozhkin are likely to appear in Medvedchuk’s alleged conversations with representatives of the Kremlin in the “coal case. Medvedchuk himself was also brought under suspicion in this case.

Who is Anatoly Shkryblyak:

• Purchase of coal from ORDLO at an inflated price and fraud on double utility rates
• He stole the budget, destroyed the ecology of Ukraine
• Evdokimov “decided” for Shkryblyak with Kirill Tymoshenko
• Skryblyak “clears” the criminal past
• The Minister of Ecology believes that Anatoly Shkryblyak deceived the people of Kyiv about the new filters at the Darnytsia CHP
• The former People’s Deputy destroys another lake in Poznyaki
• Shkryblyak and Efimov prevent the adoption of the law on state ecological control
• Anatoly Shkryblyak’s difficult struggle with the mass media

Purchase of coal from ORDLO at an inflated price and fraud on double utility rates

The name of Anatoly Shkryblyak is not very well known to the general public. And when it surfaced in connection with the decision of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court, which approved the plea agreement concluded with Elena Mazurova, not everyone understood who and what it was about. Moreover, there was no mention of Shkryblyak in the court’s decision.

Let us remind you that Mazurova is one of the defendants in the case of the demand for a bribe of 6 million dollars of the heads of anti-corruption bodies. But the fact is that Mazurova – the ex-director of the organizational and administrative department of the GFS – was at the same time a “converter” for the coal schemes of ex-people’s deputies Igor Kononenko and Anatoly Shkryblyak.

As for Anatoly Shkryblyak, he is the owner of four thermal power plants in different regions of Ukraine: “Khimvolokno” in Cherkassy, ​​”Sumyteploenergo”, “TechNova” in Chernihiv and Darnitskaya CHP in Kyiv (Euro-reconstruction LLC). In addition, Anatoly Shkryblyak is related to at least 26 more companies, and in 22 of them he is a beneficiary:

Among his interests, in addition to CHP, are agriculture, construction, real estate buying and selling, rental business, TV studio, car service, trust funds and investments. And so on, and so on. It is simply impossible to list everything, because the list of enterprises would take up a good page – we wrote “at least” for a reason, because in fact Shkryblyak has many more diverse enterprises:

Shkryblyak started his way to the top of the domestic business in the early nineties of the last century, as a commercial manager of the Luch chain of stores owned by his uncle Nikolai Vasilyevich Shkryblyak. Who in 1997 was the chairman of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Administration, and from December of the same year to March 2002, he moved to a lower level and performed the duties of the first deputy head of the Regional State Administration.

Mykola Shkryblyak’s main business was energy, he controlled about 90 enterprises. Apparently, not everyone liked such a number of enterprises in the same hands, and the times were still quite unstable. It is not known for sure what caused his death, but in 2002 Nikolai Shkryblyak was killed. He was shot with a machine gun in front of his own house. Right before the elections to the Verkhovna Rada, in which he was a candidate of the Surkis-Medvedchuk SDPU(o).

Here it is also worth mentioning that the only son of Mykola Shkryblyak, Nazari, has nothing left in his inheritance from his father – according to information from the registers of owners, he owns only 2.5% in LLC “TRK 3-Studio.

And Anatoly Shkryblyak continued the work of his late uncle, he first became in 2002 the deputy general director for general issues of TehNova LLC, which currently controls the Chernihiv CHPP. This company was founded by his late uncle back in 1996. Although all information about the first years of activity of “TechNova” was thoroughly destroyed, it is known that its initial authorized capital was only 10 thousand hryvnias, and that it was created under the first wave of privatization of oblenergo, but for some reason Nikolay Shkryblyak ceded “Prykarpattiaeoblenergo” to the brothers to Surkis After that, “TechNova” was restructured to rent a CHP plant and in this form appeared in Chernihiv in 2000.

At the same time, Anatoly Vasilievich became involved in politics, and realized that he was not a good person in the “New Generation of Ukraine” party, where he was the chairman of the control and revision commission, and defected to “Our Ukraine”, from which he became a people’s deputy in 2006. As a people’s deputy, he was remembered for his love of tall blondes, perhaps because of the contrast: Shkryblyak himself is short and photos with tall models looked rather comical.

Journalists were happy to comment on this passion of the people’s deputy, but in vain. First, this is the personal matter of each individual, whether he is a three-time People’s Deputy. And secondly, because of such an outrage, the majority did not pay attention to what Shkryblyak was doing in the Verkhovna Rada. And he was a member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Budget Issues. And when distributing this budget, he did not forget himself, directing the money to the industries and funds he needed. As a result, he gained control over several strategic enterprises in the energy sector and significantly increased his capital. Looking ahead, let’s say that as of 2021, Anatoly Shkryblyak occupies the honorable 99th place among the hundred richest people in Ukraine:

This is such a small giant of big business, if you can call Shkryblyak’s activity a business.

In 2006, the company “TechNova” in Chernihiv managed to extend the lease of the city thermal power plant until 2023. To understand why this is necessary, you don’t have to think much: between the city CHP and the consumer, there is a gasket in the form of the company “TechNova”. Which, on the one hand, collects money from consumers in the form of utility bills, and on the other – pays the city for the rent of the CHP. Classic gasket. There is no need to explain what Shkryblyak earns: on the difference between the cost of services paid by the consumer and their actual cost. Moreover, he wins in any case – if coal for the CHP becomes more expensive, utilities for consumers become more expensive. In addition, he buys coal from himself.

By the way, about coal. Not only for the Chernihiv CHP, but also for the others – in Sumy, Cherkassy and Darnitsa CHP in Kyiv. From the testimony of the ex-head of the security department of the TechNova company Vitali Mykhailiuk, which he gave last year as part of the investigation into the scheme of withdrawing funds from Shkryblyak’s enterprises and bribing senior officials in law enforcement agencies, it became known that Shkryblyak’s companies purchased coal from “L/ DNR” through Russian companies at bargain prices, and according to the documents, it was sold as purchased in South Africa and Pennsylvania, at market prices. This, among other things, led to an increase in utility tariffs in 2017.

By the way, 6 million dollars were allocated from this money to bribe the leadership of NABU, for which they took Mazurov, mentioned at the very beginning of the material. And who, having concluded a deal with the coroner, handed over the entire scheme.

Her testimony regarding Shkryblyak’s machinations with Russian-“DPR” coal is not the only one that implicates him in the trade with terrorists. According to the materials of several criminal cases, in the framework of which the purchases of coal in ORDLO were investigated, on average, the participants of the schemes managed to earn 21-22 dollars per ton of coal from the occupied territory. Companies controlled by Shkryblyak bought about one and a half million tons of coal per hour, stealing about 30 million dollars per hour from the citizens of Ukraine in this way.

There are at least seven criminal proceedings on these issues, some were closed in the spring of 2020, but not all. At least two criminal cases investigated by the SBU are still in the active stage. In addition, in the testimony of Elena Mazurova, another request will be made to investigate Shkryblyak’s actions regarding (including) the purchase of coal from militants.

Even last year, People’s Deputy from “Servant of the People” Alexander Tkachenko claimed that purchases of coal from “L/DPR” became possible thanks to the patronage provided by Poroshenko’s business partner Igor Kononenko, who owns a share in Darnytsia CHP, to Shkryblyak.

However, the scheme for the purchase of coal in the occupied territories continues to operate successfully even under Zelensky. So, in January 2021, journalist Denys Kazansky published a video of coal trains from ORDLO arriving in Kyiv:

The coal was intended for Shkryblyak’s Darnitskaya thermal power plant. So, at least as of the beginning of 2021, the situation with coal from L/DNR has not changed. And if you reason logically, then this cannot be explained by “Poroshenko’s machinations”. And Shkryblyak’s patrons should be sought already among the “Servants of the People”, thanks to the money of the former and the boundless greed of the latter, there is enough for the organization of such a scheme.

By the way, on September 17, 2020, the Antimonopoly Committee (AMCU) ordered the owner of the Darnytsia CHP plant, Euro-Reconstruction LLC, to reduce the cost of heat for consumers. Despite this, at the end of 2020, the National Commission for State Regulation in the Fields of Electric Power and Utilities (NKREKU) increased tariffs for thermal energy production by Euro-Reconstruction LLC by 49.7% from January 1, 2021. On January 11, 2021, the AMCU began considering the case of abuse of the monopoly position of Euro-Reconstruction LLC, which during the 2019-2020 heating season overcharged consumers for thermal energy by 23%.

What is once again confirmed by the fact that Anatoly Shkryblyak found patrons among the “Servants of the People” in 2109. And – at the highest level. It is doubtful that the new consequence will name them. Especially since huge sums are still earned on coal from ORDLO, and poor and eternally hungry toastmasters, clowns and other “new faces” in two years really liked the well-fed life that Anatoly Shkryblyak provides them, including. The next increase in utility rates is a clear confirmation of that.

Condition

From the moment Anatoly Shkryblyak appropriated the Darnytsia thermal power plant, there has been no silence about his elaborate offshore schemes. According to journalists, the owner of the Darnitskaya CHP became the company, the owner of which is Anatoly himself through “Azorande Investments Limited” and “Financial Investments Group A-Zevs” – offshore companies located in Cyprus. As a result, the only thing Kyiv residents receive from Darnytsia CHP is the ever-increasing utility bills and irreparable damage to the city’s ecology. Because the thermal power plant not only emits huge volumes of unpleasant and smelly smoke, but also drains liquid waste into the nearest lake, which has long since turned into a terrible cesspool.

The owners of the energy business – “Schemy” go to MP Kononenko

People’s deputy Igor Kononenko, who is called the curator of the country’s energy sector, regularly holds meetings with owners of energy businesses in Ukraine in his office. This is stated in the investigation of “Scheme” (joint project of Radio Liberty and TV channel UA: Pervyj) “Ihor Kononenko. Reception of citizens”.

The first is Vitaliy Kropachev, who over the past few years has managed to grow from the level of a Donbass businessman to a businessman of a national scale.

The second is the until recently Russian and now Ukrainian businessman Pavel Fuchs.

The third businessman who came to the office building is former People’s Deputy Anatoly Shkryblyak. According to the observations of “Scheme”, he was taken there by a man whose family, it seems, has friendly relations with the Kononenko family – Sergey Myshchenko. Previously, he worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs under Vitaly Zakharchenko, and then in the State Fiscal Service.

Offshore Shkryblyak

If you look in the open databases of enterprises belonging to Anatoly Shkryblyak, then next to his surname there is always a Cypriot address: the city of Limassol, Germasogeia 4040, apartment 105. At the same time, it is impossible to find his Ukrainian “registration” for some reason, from what can be done conclusion: does Anatoly Shkryblyak officially live permanently in Cyprus? Of course, this is not prohibited. But to register almost all of your business offshore in order not to pay taxes in Ukraine is already perceived as a scam and corruption! By the way, according to SKELET-info sources, he also has a Cypriot passport.

Indeed, having studied the data of his enterprises, it is possible to discover that the vast majority of them are registered with Cypriot offshore companies. For example, the shopping center “Nikolsky” (in Kharkov) belongs to the Cypriot company “Nikolsky Holdings Limited”, LLC “Fabryka Solar” is registered to the Cypriot company “Atmasphera Holdings Limited”, but “TechNova” belongs to two Cypriot companies at once (see screenshot) . And Shkryblyak has many such companies in Cyprus, it seems that they are some kind of offshore spacers that are “glued” to each of his Ukrainian enterprises. At the same time, most of these companies are registered at the same address: the city of Limassol, Hermatogeia 4041, office 111, that is, next to Anatoly Shkryblyak’s Cypriot apartment.

The only exception is his agrofirms, which have only Ukrainian founders. But only because Shkryblyak has long been eagerly awaiting the launch of the agricultural land market. And he fears that foreign and even offshore founders would prevent agricultural companies from joining the first wave of land buyers. Judging by the law on the land market adopted by the Council, Shkryblyak’s fears were not in vain.

And one more interesting observation. Until the summer of 2019, Shkryblyak’s Cypriot companies were registered to a number of persons: Pavlyna Tsirides, Maria Khrystyna Stefanou, Iryna Luchyna Skitides, Georgy Tsagareishvili and Roman Prykhodko. But almost all of them are Cypriots from Limassol, and some of them are well over 70, so they are most likely to be recognized as presidents. And only Prykhodko is a citizen of Ukraine and lives in Kyiv. He is Shkryblyak’s partner in agricultural companies, as well as the enterprises “Dobrodiya Trade” and “Dobrodiya Foods”, which until the middle of 2019 were registered to the Cypriot firm “Speser Holdings Limited” – the legal support of transactions of which was carried out by the law firm “Sergei Kozyakov and Partners”. By the way, it is very noticeable that after the 2019 elections, Shkryblyak suddenly decided to transfer the majority of his companies from Cypriot laying companies directly to himself.

The editorial office has found documents from criminal proceedings revealing the identities of the participants in the scheme to protect the illegal supply of coal to Ukraine from the territories of the LPR and DNR, which are not controlled by Ukraine, through the territory of the Russian Federation with the help of foreign companies from the European Union

The authors of this scheme are ex-people’s deputies Anatoly Shkryblyak and Igor Kononenko, who is Petro Poroshenko’s proxy. The scale of the theft is impressive — from 2017 to 2019, according to the investigation, more than three billion hryvnias were stolen from the state budget.

The cycle of operation of the scheme on the example of individual deliveries from right to left from tonnage and “pricing” along the financial chain to the CHP, the “margin” is separately presented.

The editors described in detail the mechanism of operation of the scheme, which operated according to the principle of interrupted transit, when due to the forgery of documents, the coal allegedly transiting through Ukraine changed the owner and destination, ending up at the Ukrainian CHP.

Shkryblyak’s companies supplied coal to the thermal power plant, allegedly purchased through controlled companies from foreign suppliers, which in fact belong to Ukrainian businessmen Ruslan Hlushchenko, Dmytro Kovalenko and Yulia Ivanechka engaged in smuggling coal supplies, the latter currently lives in Slovakia and wants to return her figure in the criminal case production of the Polish company I-Coal Sp.zoo to the Ukrainian market.

In fact, in essence, coal mined in non-controlled territories and in the Russian Federation was returned to Ukraine.

For example, according to cargo customs declarations, the cargo could go in transit from Russia to Moldova, but on the way new recipients were entered in the declaration, and the coal went to the CHP ostensibly under contracts with foreign suppliers. At the same time, due to the participation in the scheme of controlled Ukrainian and foreign intermediary firms, the cost of delivery was significantly increased, and after that, with the help of these same firms, money was withdrawn “into the shadows”.

At the same time, the scheme involved many Ukrainian officials holding managerial positions, as well as law enforcement officers and employees of controlling bodies.

The direct “observer” of the scheme, according to the investigation, was a businessman and former top official of the Federal Security Service and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Sergey Myshchenko, who communicates directly with Shkryblyak and Kononenko on all issues related to her work and separately supervises the solution of various problems in the authorities and administration. controlling and law enforcement authorities.

A so-called management company was created, which was headed by Elena Mazurova, a former subordinate of Myshchenko, Kononenko’s creature. She oversees almost all the main issues of the company’s activities.

Mazurova monitors all deliveries of coal and payment for them, the withdrawal of funds “in the shadows” through the settlement accounts of non-resident intermediaries and controlled firms in Ukraine. In addition, it controlled the activities of many subsidiary companies, which were created ostensibly to optimize the operation of the CHP and enable the development of the accepted hourly tariff, but in fact, with the help of fictitious contracts and acts of acceptance of work, money was pumped out of the CHP ostensibly for consulting and other services. The coffers of these subsidiaries were also replenished due to illegal financial assistance, transactions with securities, and other things.

Shkryblyak also involved his man Alexander Shtipelman, a member of the board of the Wholesale Electricity Market, to the scheme. Shtipelman is responsible for the operation of the CHP plant and ensures that the actual fuel costs for energy production at the CHP plant are significantly lower than what is approved by the tariff. In addition, he controls the process of drawing up “inflated” acts on the performance of works at the CHP under contract contracts by controlled companies.

Elena Mazurova’s brother Andrey Mandrenko is responsible for the commercial component of the scheme – he manages the supply departments of all CHPs from the Shkryblyak group – this is TehNova LLC (Chernigovskaya CHPP), Euro-Reconstruction LLC (Darnytskaya CHPP), Sumyteploenergo LLC (Sumskaya CHPP) CHP) and PJSC “Cherkasskoye Khimvolokno” (Cherkasskaya CHP). He also determines and coordinates suppliers and contractors for the CHP, holding “manageable” tenders for the purchase of goods, works, and services.

Mandrenko personally conducts negotiations with representatives of CHP suppliers and contractors, agreeing on “kickbacks”, and controls their transfer to the “cash register” of scheme participants. Financial issues are also dealt with by Mazurova, Lazneva, and the chief accountant of the management company, Parkhatskaya. In addition, Mazurova involved in the scheme to ensure legal and security issues of her former subordinates from the GFS employees Baul, Shapor, Pavly and Voropai.

The operation of the scheme was ensured and covered at the expense of the state commission of the National Energy Regulatory Commission of the National Energy Regulatory Commission of Ukraine and the Ministry of Energy: Shkryblyak, Myshchenko, Mazurova, and Shtipelman met at different times with the head of the National Energy Regulatory Commission of Ukraine Dmitriy Vovka and the Minister of Energy Igor Nasalik – they agreed on the price of coal for energy companies, which would allow in the future receive illegal profit.

At the direction of Mazurova and Shtipelman, the director of TehNova LLC, Evrorekonstruktionsiya LLC, Sumyteploenergo LLC, and Cherkasskoye Khimvolokno PJSC at the end of the year submitted applications to the NCREKU for approval of the tariff for the next hour. One of the main components of the tariff is precisely the price of coal.

On the basis of the protocols signed by Nasalik on establishing the price of coal and the results of the NCREKU inspection, the state commission approved the tariff at the meeting. And so that the results of the NCREKU inspection were “correct”, Stipelman and Mazurova organized and accompanied them every year. In addition to the Ministry of Energy and NKREKU, the scheme was also covered by law enforcement agencies and the State Internal Revenue Service. In the GPU, for example, the cover-up of the scheme was provided by the head of the department of supervision in criminal proceedings, Vladimir Bedrykivskyi, and the head of the department for investigation in the economic sphere, Vladimir Hutsuliak, in the SBU, the former first deputy head of the department, Pavel Demchyna.

It is also worth noting that from May to November 2019, Shkryblyak’s TehNova LLC, Evrorekonstruktsiya LLC, Sumyteploenergo LLC, and Cherkasskoe Khimvolokno PJSC, which use the Chernigov, Darynitskaya, Sumy, and Cherkassy thermal power plants, actively withdrew working capital to accounts of controlled enterprises — this coincided with the period when TPP signed dubious credit agreements with Alfa-Bank for a total sum of over 500 million hryvnias.

Help of Vyacheslav Shtuchny

The work of Shkyrblyak’s group was covered by the former head of the Verkhovna Rada apparatus Vyacheslav Shtuchny.

What is characteristic is that he joined the scheme not immediately, but after some unnamed “activists” handed him the scheme for the purchase of coal from ORDLO, hoping that he would speed up the investigation of the so-called “Shkriblyak group”, which bought this coal for the controlled CHP . But the result was somewhat different – Shtuchny agreed with Shkryblyak and the investigation suddenly stopped.

Let us remind you that several criminal proceedings were instituted for the theft of money from the state budget. Over the course of 18 months, the Chernihiv SBU Administration documented the facts of cost overruns in the organization of the main activities of the Chernihiv Thermal Power Plant (“TehNova”): delivery and transportation of foreign coal, purchase of TMC, implementation of investment and repair programs, as well as facts of L/DNR financing.

At the same time, Shkryblyak appeared in criminal proceedings opened by the National Police under part 5 of article 191 (Empropriation, embezzlement of property or possession of it by abuse of official position) and part 3 of article 209 (Legalization (laundering) of proceeds obtained through criminal means ) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. You can read more about this in the article Why did the oligarch Anatoly Shkryblyak, who stole billions from the state, not be punished?

But since 2019, when the “activists” leaked information to Stuchny, no investigative measures have taken place in these criminal proceedings. According to the latest information, these productions were supposed to be closed at the beginning of November, but there are no exact data on this yet. It is only known that the head of Shkryblyak’s security service, former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevdokimov, is engaged in this. Which, by the way, speaks about the level of connections of Anatoliy Shkryblyak and the level of integration into the power vertical of Ukraine.

As for Shtuchny, thanks to the deal with Mazurova’s investigation, the amount that Shkryblyak “unfastened” from him is known: the help of the former head of the Verkhovna Rada apparatus cost 1 million 400 thousand dollars, which was transferred in several tranches.

By the way, the plot of the Pravda tut program, which talked about this scheme, looks like this recently:

As for Anatoly Shkryblyak’s activities in the field of supplying heat and energy to consumers, it is worth mentioning that thanks to his efforts, Chernygov CHP (“TehNova”) was stopped in the summer of this year. For the first time in sixty years of work. According to the deputy mayor of Chernihiv Viktor Gerashchenko, “low electricity prices, which are now affecting the daily market, forced the establishment of the thermal power plant. They range from 20 to 70 kopecks/kW with a total production capacity of 1.4-1.5 hryvnias. This makes the generation of electricity unprofitable, and the CHP plant loses the necessary resources for this purpose.”

If translated into human language, the owners of “TechNova”, referring to “unprofitableness”, simply blackmailed the city, forcing them to increase the amount of communal payments. The blackmail was quite successful, because otherwise the city simply risked freezing this winter, since the Chernihiv CHP of the “TexNova” company is the only enterprise in Chernihiv that generates both electrical and thermal energy. CHP is one of the largest heat-producing enterprises in Chernihiv and provides heat and hot water to 600 houses (more than 40% of the total number).

The matter was not limited to Chernihiv – from January 1, heating costs for residents of the left bank of Kyiv will increase again by 50%. These consumers are supplied with heat by Darnytskaya CHP, which also belongs to Shkryblyak. It is impossible to calculate what kind of increase this is. But the fact that prices are rising regularly will be confirmed by any consumer of heat and hot water.

Returning to the supply of coal, from the testimony of the ex-head of the security division of the “TechNova” company Vitaly Mykhailiuk, which he gave last year as part of the investigation into the scheme of withdrawing funds from Shkryblyak’s enterprises and bribing high-ranking officials in law enforcement agencies, it became known that Shkryblyak’s companies purchased coal to “L/DPR” through Russian firms at throwaway prices, and according to the documents, it was carried out as purchased in South Africa and Pennsylvania, at market prices.

On average, scheme participants managed to earn 21-22 dollars per ton of coal from the occupied territories. Companies controlled by Shkryblyak bought about one and a half million tons of coal per hour, thus stealing about 30 million dollars per hour from the citizens of Ukraine. This made it possible to allocate 6 million dollars to bribe the leadership of NABU, for which they took the mentioned Mazurova. So they bought not only the head of the VR device.

In 2021, the situation has not changed:

Echelons with coal, which are shown in the plot, were going to the Darnytsia CHP plant. And this at a time when coal supplies from ORDLO, which were purchased by Shkryblyak for its CHP plants, were already actively investigated by the SBU, the NPU and NABU.

This is confirmed by a simple fact – these deliveries gave Shkryblyak the opportunity to earn so much that he had enough to buy patrons in the highest echelons of power. It became known about Shtuchny and NABU, but this did not break the scheme at all. So, the main recipient of “thanks” is somewhere higher.

We cannot fail to mention one more strange circumstance – after the “attempt” on the president’s friend Shefir in the publication “Strana.UA.” the following information flashed: “The owner of the Darnytsia, Cherkassy, ​​Chernihiv and Sumy thermal power plants, Anatoly Shkryblyak, who has been abroad recently, may keep his assets, as people from the entourage of President Volodymyr Zelensky “laid eyes on them.” An unnamed source of the publication expressed the assumption that the shooting at Shefir’s car could have been provoked by Bankova’s demands to subordinate herself to coal schemes and enterprises that work on coal.

After this mention of Shkryblyak in this context, they somehow fell silent. As efforts to investigate something regarding him died down, even the high-profile case of bribery in NABU somehow disappeared from the public’s view.

Evdokimov “decided” for Shkryblyak with Kirill Tymoshenko

According to the tg-channel “Ochki Bakanova”, one of the funniest Ukrainian under-oligarches, Anatoly Shkryblyak, has completely recovered from the high-profile case of a $6 million bribe to Sytnyk.

Now, Vladimir Evdokimov, the former deputy minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, deals with the corruption of law enforcement officers in Shkryblyak. And “Kotovsky”, as Yevdokymov’s ex-employees called him, has already found his way to the hearts of Sergey Shefir and Kirill Tymoshenko. As for Tatarov, he generally considers Evdokymov to be his teacher. So, now we can expect a sharp loss of interest of law enforcement officers in the illegal activities of Shkryblyak’s enterprises. And the interest was quite specific. Let’s quote the certificate: “The facts of the protection of large amounts of money, by prior agreement, by the beneficiary (Shkryblyak A.V.) and officials of power companies: OOO “Technova” (Chernigovskaya TPP), LLC “Eurorekonstruktionsiya” (Darnytskaya TPP), LLC “Sumyteploenergo” ” (Sumskaya TPP), PJSC “Cherkasskoe Khimvolokno” (Cherkasskaya TPP), — artificial overestimation of costs when organizing the main types of activities: the delivery and transportation of coal from abroad, the purchase of TMC, the implementation of investment and repair programs, as well as the financing of terrorist organizations, illegitimate pseudo-state organizations formed by the LPR-DPR, are documented in the following proceedings: • GSU National Police No. 12019000000000968 dated 11.10.2019. Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

• GSU SB of Ukraine No. 22019270000000059 dated October 9, 2019. part 1 of article 258-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

• GSU of the National Police No. 42020000000000984 dated 01.06.2020 part 3 of article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (entered into the EDRR by the Office of the GPU)

• GSU National Police No. 42020000000000985 dated June 1, 2020. Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (introduced into the EDRR by the Office of the GPU). • GSU SBU N 22020000000000196 dated August 13, 2020. part 4 of article 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.”

So, Shkryblyak will calm down. And Kirill Tymoshenko will get significantly richer.

Skryblyak “clears” the criminal past

There was an article about how Shkryblyak made an unsuccessful attempt to clean up compromising material about him:

The Minister of Ecology believes that Anatoly Shkryblyak deceived the people of Kyiv about the new filters at the Darnytsia CHP

The Minister of Ecology, Ostap Semerak, spoke on Facebook about the perfidy of the owners of Darnytsia CHP, headed by Anatoly Shkryblyak:

“The management of Darnytsia TPP did not allow the environmental inspectors to check the implementation of instructions on the elimination of violations beyond the schedule. :((

Although as early as March 21, the Ukrainian mass media were full of optimistic headlines: “Darnytsia CHP is installing a new filter that will reduce the amount of harmful emissions by 40 times.”

So where is the filter?

Why didn’t environmental inspectors get a chance to see him, too? Weird, right? Let me remind you that only during 2017-2018, representatives of the State Environmental Inspection discovered a number of violations of environmental legislation by Darnytsia CHP. This was an excess of emissions of harmful substances into the air, and discharges into the water, the remains of which were recorded as far as the Kaniv Reservoir. At the same time, Darnytsia CHP promised to eliminate all deficiencies. It would seem that this is a normal, logical course of solving the problem between the community, the authorities and business, but the management of Darnytsia CHP gave a back.

However, this does not mean that the authorities will do the same.

Darnytsia CHP is issue #1 for the joint working group of the Ministry of Natural Resources and the KMDA. This was the case at the beginning of the agreements on the coordination of work, and it is the same now.”

The former People’s Deputy destroys another lake in Poznyaki

For the last four years, Darnytskaya CHP No. 4 has been dumping waste from its production – red-hot coal mixture – into Lake Goryachka in Poznyaki, Kyiv. Because of this, the picturesque reservoir, located in a cascade of 36 natural lakes, turned into a real Armageddon.

Solnechnoe Lake is across the road from Goryachka Lake. Recently, this lake is considered one of the most polluted and swimming in it is strictly prohibited. Today, the water in Solnechny is covered with a blue-green film due to the rotting of algae in it.

Currently, thermal power plants mainly operate boiler plants, the design and construction of which took place several decades ago. At that time, the main task of the creators and operating personnel was to ensure efficient fuel burning: high efficiency, low losses, long-term accident-free operation. Currently, in addition to the above, new environmental requirements for equipment are being put forward.

A certain amount of nitrogen oxide NO is formed in the furnace. Before leaving the boiler, part of the nitrogen oxide turns into NO2 dioxide. In addition, the ash contains oxides of silicon, aluminum, and iron, as well as a large amount of carbon, the so-called unburnt coal.

If ash and slag dumps are located near the residential sector, then the volatile coal mixture is blown by the wind. This can have a very negative impact on people’s health. Long-term exposure to even relatively small concentrations of NOx increases the number of acute and chronic respiratory diseases.

But the saddest thing about this is that constant inhalation of this “cocktail” can provoke oncological diseases. Increased concentrations of nitrogen oxides also have a negative effect on plant and animal life. If the accumulation and storage of ash dumps takes place in places not prepared for this, there is a very high probability of groundwater contamination, which, in turn, poses a threat of poisoning nearby water bodies.

Shkryblyak and Efimov prevent the adoption of the law on state ecological control

Anatoly Shkryblyak and Maksym Efimov, the actual owner of Darnytsia CHPP, who is credited with actual control over Tsentrenergo PJSC, are preventing the adoption of the draft law “On State Environmental Control”. This draft law was registered in the Verkhovna Rada (Verkhovna Rada) on February 19, 2020, but it has not yet passed the first reading.

KV became aware of this from the words of the head of the State Environmental Inspection, Andrey Malevany.

According to Andrey Malevany, there are problems with the passage of the draft law “On State Environmental Control” (No. 3091, – KV), the adoption of which is opposed, except for DTEK, Darnytskaya CHP and PJSC “Centerenergo”.

“There are lobby groups that do not want the project to be adopted. But there is political will and understanding that we need to “turn our face” to ecology. I hope that the lobby will give way. We will fight for the law,” the head of the State Economic Inspection emphasized.

Since 2012, the owner of the Darnytsia CHP is Anatoly Shkryblyak (Nasha Ukraine faction), People’s Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the 5th convocation (2005-2006).

Conclusions:

Anatoly Shkryblyak is clearly not worried about the environment. Ego CHP is destroying natural lakes in Kyiv with complete impunity. But in addition to harming the environment, Shkryblyak also harms the country’s budget, stealing millions of dollars.

Anatoly Shkryblyak’s difficult struggle with the mass media

There is such an “outstanding” Ukrainian energy magnate, Anatoly Shkryblyak. He even entered the TOP-100 Ukrainian oligarchs. Although no one had heard of him a couple of years ago.

But! The mass media  suddenly asked the question: where does the profit from CHPs go, the cost of services of which has already exceeded all reasonable limits, but at the same time the quality of these services has not improved? Who is behind all this?

And it turns out that Anatoly Shkryblyak is the very person and conductor of the schemes!

We will not repeat the entire dossier on Anatoly Shkryblyak – you can familiarize yourself with it on these two links – Anatoly Shkryblyak: a small giant of big corruption. PART 1 , Why is the head of the VR apparatus Stuchny kryshuet Shkryblyak ?, and let’s get to the point of this publication.

So, on November 1 of this year, Skelet.Info received a message from the Lumen service, which belongs to Google, with the following content: “Your URLs have been removed from Google Search in accordance with the DMCA law .”

In two words, this means that the website – Skelet.Info site contains materials that violate someone’s copyright.

 They mean one thing – someone, let’s call him, for example, VALERY, decided to remove information from the Google search results that lead to our site in such a “crooked” way. At the same time, Skelet.Info does not violate any copyrights. It’s just that VALERY really wants to delete this information and comes up with various tricks. Then he retroactively places a publication identical to Skelet.Info on some of his sites, makes it noindex, and then writes letters to Lumen that he is the real copyright holder and demands that it be removed from the Google edition, then invents some other perversions, like, for example, Gennady Butkevich aka ATB (long story)…

In general, since the Lumen service at the initial stage evaluates information through robots, there are cases that information from Google is indeed deleted. And now the website – Skelet.Info will have to prove to Lumen that nobody’s rights have been violated. And this is time (which is money).
