Detectives of the Territorial Administration of the Economic Security Bureau in the Lviv region informed the acting director of the state-owned enterprise of suspicion of wasting coal.

Knowing reliably the amount of coal mined during a certain period, the official sold 3,500 tons of goods for the benefit of third parties.

The acting director was notified of the suspicion. The question of choosing a preventive measure and imposing an arrest on the suspect's property to compensate for the damages caused to the state is being resolved.

Pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings on the grounds of criminal offences provided for in Part 2, Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Impropriation , embezzlement of property or taking possession of it by abuse of official position), carried out by detectives of the ESBU administration in Lviv region under the procedural guidance of the Lviv regional prosecutor's office and operative support of employees of the SBU department in Lviv region.
