On November 22, 2022, the HACC delivered a verdict against five people involved in a corruption scheme at the Elektrovazhmash plant: as a result of fraudulent sales of spare parts to a Lithuanian company, the plant lost UAH 13.7 million.

Mykola Korniichuk, former deputy director of the plant, was sentenced to 4 years in prison; three of his accomplices were also sentenced, and one defendant was acquitted. However, the HACC Appeals Chamber later closed the proceedings.

Thus, acting in the interests of the Czech intermediary company Ksanko s.r.o., the individuals involved denied the actual buyer — the Lithuanian company EER — a direct contract at the market price of around EUR 1.2 million by artificially demanding a substantial advance payment. Instead, the plant sold this equipment to the Czech intermediary Ksanko s.r.o. at an undervalued price of EUR 600,000, and on the same day the intermediary resold it to the Lithuanians at full value, with the goods shipped directly from a warehouse in Kharkiv to Lithuania.

As a result of these actions, the state lost more than UAH 7.1 million in the form of lost profit.

This investigation was the third in a series of investigations into the abuses at Elektrovazhmash.

Korniichuk's actions were classified under Article 364(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and the actions of three other defendants under Article 27(5) and Article 364(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Korniichuk and Bohdanov, former plant officials, were sentenced to 4 years in prison with a fine of UAH 17,000 and a ban on holding certain positions for 3 and 2.5 years, respectively. Oksana Yevdokymova was sentenced to 3.5 years in prison, a UAH 17,000 fine, and a 3-year ban on holding certain positions. Andrii Yevdokymov was imprisoned for 4 years with a similar fine of UAH 17,000.

At the same time, the HACC acquitted Oleksandr Hordii, one of the former deputy directors of the plant, who had been charged under Article 27(2), (3), (5) and Article 364(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

In addition, the HACC applied special forfeiture, recovering from Ksanko s.r.o. the illegal profit of EUR 217,306 (UAH 7.2 million) for the benefit of the state. The HACC Appeals Chamber overturned the HACC's verdict and closed the criminal proceedings against the defendants on the grounds that their actions lacked the elements of a criminal offense; it also lifted the measures securing the criminal proceedings (bail and asset seizures) in respect of these individuals.
