Former Ternopil Depot Chief Suspected of Negligence
The High Anti-Corruption Court approved a plea agreement with former advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine Artem Shyl.
This was reported on Tuesday, October 13, by the public organization Transparency International Ukraine. He was found guilty of criminal offenses under Part 3 of Article 27, Part 5 of Article 191 and Part 3 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Shyla was sentenced to 8 years of imprisonment without the right to hold positions related to the exercise of organizational, managerial or administrative and economic powers in military formations and law enforcement agencies for a period of 3 years.
Also, according to the approved agreement, Artem Shylo must pay a fine of UAH 204 million. In addition, a 1-year deferral of the fine amount has been established with quarterly payments of UAH 51 million.
Based on Article 75 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, Shyla was released from punishment with a probationary period of 3 years.
Also, the plea agreement applied special confiscation to the following assets of Shyl: an apartment with an area of 183.5 sq m, two apartments with an area of 102.3 sq m; funds in the amount of UAH 325.7 million. The seizure imposed by the Supreme Court of Ukraine on the property of the former law enforcement officer was canceled in part of the personal Mercedes-Benz car.
Artem Shylo is a suspect in the EBK database.
Recall that NABU and SAPO detained former advisor to the President's Office Artem Shyl. Later, he and other defendants were informed of the suspicion. According to the investigation, Shyl, officials of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" and other accomplices ensured that a private company was identified as a supplier of power transformers at an inflated price. The transformers were purchased in Uzbekistan and delivered to Bulgaria, where they were already purchased by a private company controlled by a citizen of Belarus who often visits Russia.
Later, UZ purchased these transformers at an inflated price, which caused the company 94.8 million UAH in losses. An organized group took possession of these funds and disposed of them at its own discretion.
Shila was also informed of suspicion of organizing the appropriation of UZ funds during the purchase of cables.
We previously reported that the SAPO referred the case of SBU employee Artem Shyl to court.
