In the Lviv region, three managers of a coal mining enterprise are suspected of embezzling coal worth over 2.2 million UAH. According to the investigation, in August-September 2025, they organised a scheme to illegally obtain profit through manipulation of accounting documentation.
The criminal group consisted of an organiser, an executor, and an accomplice. The organiser, who previously served as a shift supervisor, devised the plan for the embezzlement of coal, controlled the group’s activities, and distributed the illegally obtained funds. The executor was responsible for understating the volumes of coal by entering false data into the invoices. The accomplice, the head of security, ensured the removal of unaccounted products from the enterprise’s premises.
As a result of their actions, nearly 440 tonnes of coal were illegally removed from the mine. The Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office has informed the group members of the suspicions of embezzlement and abuse of office. Investigative actions are ongoing, and other individuals involved in the illegal activities are being identified.
