The Security Service of Ukraine detained Oleksandr Skopych, the director of control and audit work of the Energoatom company, for a bribe.

"The Security Service of Ukraine exposed the director of control and audit work of this enterprise for corruption. According to the case file, the company official demanded "kickbacks" from the suppliers of goods and services for the state-owned enterprise," the report says.

The Security Service said that in exchange for a bribe of 15 percent of the contract amount, he promised suppliers an expedited settlement.

The official was caught red-handed when he received UAH 100,000 from a supplier of fuel and lubricants that supplies a state-owned enterprise that mines uranium.

The perpetrator was informed of suspicion under Part 3 of Art. 369-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (abuse of influence).
