Director of a company from Crimea suspected of supplying fuel to the occupiers

A scheme to supply fuel to the pseudo-government had been operating for years in the occupied part of Kherson region. It was organized by a resident of Crimea, who headed the company and collaborated with the occupation structures.

This was reported by the press service of the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The Crimean residents were notified in absentia of suspicion of cooperation with the aggressor state. It is about conducting economic activities in cooperation with the occupation authorities.

According to the investigation, in October 2022, the woman was in occupied Genichesk, where she headed a limited liability company. The company was registered with the fiscal authorities of the Russian Federation and specialized in the sale of motor fuel.

Later, the director established cooperation with the illegally created occupation authorities. Among her so-called clients were the pseudo-prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the civil-military administration, as well as fake "ministries" and forestry and hunting enterprises.

According to the investigation, the fuel supply was carried out through a network of gas stations and lasted several years. During this time, the amount of transactions exceeded 9.3 million Russian rubles.

Investigative actions are currently underway to establish all the circumstances and identify the persons involved in the scheme. The suspect faces criminal liability for collaboration.

In the summer of 2022, a local businessman also became the head of the occupation village council in Kherson region, accommodating racists in villagers' homes and stealing property. He also organized a referendum and managed the life of the villagers under occupation.
