Case description

The NABU and the SAPO suspect Artem Shylo, former freelance advisor to the Presidential Office, of embezzling procurement funds for Ukrzaliznytsia.  

There are two episodes. The first one is the procurement of cables in May-November 2022. At that time, the organized group seized UAH 87 million. Since June 2022, Shylo allegedly organized the embezzlement of UAH 94.8 million in transformers purchased at twice the price through a Bulgarian shell company. 

In the second episode, UAH 53 million was seized from the accounts of the supplier Uzelektro, as the controller of the winning company turned out to be a Belarusian citizen with ties to Russia.

Law enforcement officers believe that awarding the company in the tender was organized artificially. Shylo said that there was no evidence of this, except for his letter "On Threats to National Security," which rejected the proposals of one of the suppliers. 

According to the NABU, the criminal group included businessman Ihor Butanov, Deputy Director of UZ Oleksandr Shevchenko, First Deputy Director of the UZ Branch Oleksii Onysymiuk, a representative of the private company Uzelektro Denys Khomiakov, and 3 other individuals.

The investigation also claims that Shylo purchased two apartments in Kyiv worth UAH 3 million each, although similar real estate on the market cost more than UAH 9 million per apartment. Among other things, he is charged with money laundering.

Shylo's actions were classified under Article 191(5), Article 209(2) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The other defendants are charged with Article 15(2), Article 191(5) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
