A court hearing will be held in Lviv regarding the case against the former technical director of PJSC ‘Lvivgas‘. He is accused of embezzling nearly 3.7 million hryvnias. In 2022, while performing the duties of a board member, this official ensured the inclusion of inflated figures in the calculations of gas loss volumes, leading to inflated tariffs for gas distribution services for enterprises in Lviv, Stryi, Sheptychny, and Drohobych.
The wrongdoer was identified by the investigators from the general criminal investigation department in collaboration with the Security Service of Ukraine in the Lviv region under the procedural guidance of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Lviv Region.
The pre-trial investigation has been completed, and the indictment has been forwarded to the court. The accused faces a sentence of up to twelve years in prison, along with a three-year ban on holding certain posts, and asset confiscation.
