Compromising evidence
Ever since Anatoliy Shkriblyak appropriated Darnytska TPP, talk of his complex offshore schemes has not stopped. According to journalists, the owner of the Darnytsia TPP is a company owned by Anatoliy himself through Azorande Investments Limited and A-Zevs Financial Investments Group, offshore companies based in Cyprus. As a result, the only thing that Kyiv residents receive from Darnytsia TPP is constantly growing utility bills and irreparable damage to the city’s environment. This is due to the fact that the TPP not only emits a huge amount of unpleasant and smelly smoke, but also dumps liquid waste into the nearest lake, which has long since turned into a stinking cesspool.
MP Kononenko is regularly visited by owners of energy companies — “Schemes”
People’s Deputy Ihor Kononenko, who is called the curator of the country’s energy sector, regularly held meetings with the owners of Ukrainian energy companies in his office during his term in office. This is stated in the investigation “Schemes. Ihor Kononenko. Reception of citizens”.
In addition to a number of businessmen, such as Fuks, Kropachov, etc., Anatoliy Shkriblyak also visited Kononenko. According to Skhemy’s observations, he was brought there by Serhiy Mishchenko, whose family is on friendly terms with Kononenko’s family.
Offshore companies of Shkriblyak
If you look at the open databases of companies owned by Anatoly Shkriblyak, you will always find a Cypriot address next to his name: Limassol, Germasogeia 4040, apartment 105. At the same time, for some reason, his Ukrainian “residence permit” cannot be found. Anatoliy Shkriblyak is officially a permanent resident of Cyprus. He needs a Cyprus residence permit only to register almost all of his business offshore and not to pay taxes in Ukraine, which is essentially fraud. By the way, according to SKELET-info’s sources, he also has a Cypriot passport.
Indeed, a review of his business documents reveals that the vast majority of them are registered to Cypriot offshore companies.
For example, the Nikolsky shopping center (Kharkiv) is owned by the Cypriot company Nikolsky Holdings Limited, his LLC Fabrika Solar is registered to the Cypriot company Atmasrhera Holdings Limited, and Technova is registered to two Cypriot companies at once (see screenshot). Shkriblyak has a lot of such companies in Cyprus, and it seems that they are a kind of offshore padding, «glued» to each of his Ukrainian companies. At the same time, most of these companies are registered at the same address: Germatogeia 4041, office 111, Limassol, i.e. next to Anatoliy Shkriblyak’s Cyprus apartment.
The only exceptions are his agricultural companies, in which only Ukrainians are founders.
But that’s only because Shkriblyak has been looking forward to the launch of the farmland market for a long time. And he fears that foreign and even offshore founders will prevent agricultural enterprises from joining the first wave of land buyers. Judging by the law on the land market passed by the Rada, Shkriblyak’s fears were not unfounded.
And one more interesting observation. Until the summer of 2019, Shkriblyak’s Cypriot companies were registered to a number of individuals: Pavlina Tsirides, Maria Christina Stefanou, Iryna Lucina Skitides, Giorgi Tsagareishvili, and Roman Prikhodko. But almost all of them are Cypriots from Limassol, some of them are well over 70, so they probably represent the same zeitgeist. Only Prikhodko is a citizen of Ukraine and lives in Kyiv. He is Shkriblyak’s partner in agribusiness, as well as in Dobrodiya Trade and Dobrodiya Foods, which until mid-2019 were registered with the Cyprus-based Speser Holdings Limited, whose transactions were legally supported by Sergii Koziakov and Partners. By the way, it is very noticeable that after the 2019 elections, Shkriblyak suddenly decided to transfer most of his business from Cypriot proxy firms directly to himself. Apparently, he decided to hide the traces of his old schemes in this way.
368.media has obtained documents from a criminal proceeding that reveal the identities of participants in a scheme to steal coal illegally supplied to Ukraine from the uncontrolled territories of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics through Russia with the help of foreign companies from the European Union.
The authors of this scheme are Anatoliy Shkriblyak and former MP from the Petro Poroshenko Bloc Ihor Kononenko, who is a confidant of Petro Poroshenko. The scale of embezzlement is impressive — from 2017 to 2019, according to investigators, more than three billion hryvnias were stolen from the state budget, writes 368.media journalist Andriy Vyshynskyi.
An example of the scheme’s cycle is separate deliveries from right to left, depending on tonnage, and «pricing» along the financial chain to the TPP, while the «margin» is billed separately.
The editorial board of 368.media described in detail the mechanism of the scheme, which worked on the principle of interrupted transit, when, by forging documents, coal that was allegedly in transit through Ukraine changed its owner and destination and ended up at Ukrainian thermal power plants.
Shkriblyak’s firms supplied coal to the TPPs, allegedly purchased through controlled companies from foreign suppliers, which in fact belong to Ukrainian businessmen Ruslan Glushchenko, Dmytro Kovalenko and Yulia Ivanecheka, who now live in Slovakia and want to return their Polish company I-Coal Sp. z. o., which is involved in the criminal proceedings, to the Ukrainian market.
In fact, they were actually returning coal mined in non-government controlled areas and in the Russian Federation to Ukraine.
For example, according to the cargo customs declarations, the cargo could have been in transit from Russia to Moldova, but new recipients were added to the declarations along the way, and the coal was delivered to the thermal power plants allegedly under contracts with foreign suppliers. At the same time, due to the participation in the scheme of controlled Ukrainian and foreign intermediary firms, the cost of delivery was significantly increased, and later, with the help of the same firms, the money was withdrawn «into the shadows».
The scheme involved a large number of Ukrainian officials in senior positions, as well as law enforcement and supervisory officials.
According to the investigation, the scheme was directly supervised by a businessman and former high-ranking official of the SFS and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Sergiy Mishchenko, who communicates directly with Shkriblyak and Kononenko on all issues related to its operation and separately supervises the resolution of various problems in government, regulatory and law enforcement agencies.
A so-called management company was set up, headed by Olena Mazurova, Mishchenko’s former subordinate and Kononenko’s creative partner. She oversees almost all major issues of the company’s activities.
Mazurova monitors all coal deliveries and payments for them, as well as the transfer of funds «into the shadows» through the settlement accounts of non-resident intermediaries and controlled companies in Ukraine. In addition, it controlled the activities of numerous subsidiaries that were created ostensibly to optimize the operation of the CHP plant and absorb the annual tariff, but in reality they siphoned off money from the company for consulting and other services under fictitious contracts and acceptance certificates. The treasury of these subsidiaries was also replenished through illegal financial assistance, securities transactions, and other activities.
Shkriblyak also involved his man Oleksandr Shtipelman, a member of the board of the Wholesale Electricity Market, in the scheme. Shtipelman is responsible for the operation of thermal power plants and ensures that the actual fuel costs for energy production at the TPPs are significantly lower than those approved by the tariff. He also controls the process of subcontractors preparing «inflated» certificates of completion for the CHP.
Olena Mazurova’s brother, Andrii Mandrenko, is responsible for the commercial component of the scheme — he heads the procurement departments of all the CHPs of the Shkriblyak group — TekhNova LLC (Chernihiv CHP), Euroreconstruction LLC (Darnytsia CHP), Sumyteploenergo LLC (Sumy CHP) and Cherkasy Khimvolokno PrJSC (Cherkasy CHP). He also identifies and approves suppliers and contractors for the TPPs and conducts «managed» tenders for the purchase of goods, works and services.
Mandrenko personally negotiates with representatives of CHPP suppliers and contractors, negotiating kickbacks, and controls their transfer to the «treasury» of the scheme participants. Mazurova’s creative director, Lazneva, and the chief accountant of the management company, Parkhatska, also take care of financial issues. In addition, Mazurova involved her former subordinates from the State Financial Intelligence Service — Baul, Shapor, Pavliy and Voropay — in the scheme to ensure legal and security issues.
The scheme was supported and covered up by the state commission NKREKP and the Ministry of Energy: Shkriblyak, Mishchenko, Mazurova, and Shtipelman met with the head of NKREKP Dmytro Vovk and the Minister of Energy Ihor Nasalyk at various times to negotiate the price of coal for energy companies, which would allow them to subsequently receive illegal profits.
At the behest of Mazurova and Stipelman, the directors of TECHNOVA LLC, Euroreconstruction LLC, Sumyteploenergo LLC, and Cherkasy Chemical Fiber PJSC submitted applications to the National Commission for Regulatory Control at the end of the year for approval of the next year’s tariff. One of the main components of the tariff is the price of coal.
Based on the protocols on setting the price of coal signed by Nasalik and the results of the NERC inspection, the state commission approved the tariff at a meeting. And to make sure that the results of the NEURC inspection were «correct,» Stipelman and Mazurova organized and accompanied them every year. In addition to the Ministry of Energy and the NEURC, the scheme was covered by law enforcement agencies and the State Tax Service. In the PGO, for example, the scheme was covered by Volodymyr Bedrykovskyi, Head of the Criminal Proceedings Supervision Department, and Volodymyr Hutsulyak, Head of the Economic Investigations Department, while the former First Deputy Head of the SBU, Pavlo Demchyna, provided cover for the scheme.
It is also worth noting that from May to November 2019, Technova LLC, Euroreconstruction LLC, Sumyteploenergo LLC, and Cherkasy Chemical Fiber PJSC, which use Chernihiv, Darynitska, Sumy, and Cherkasy CHPs, owned by Shkriblyak, actively withdrew working capital to the accounts of controlled companies — this coincided with the period when the CHPs signed questionable loan agreements with Alfa-Bank totaling more than UAH 500 million.
Vyacheslav Shtuchnyi’s help
Former Chief of Staff of the Verkhovna Rada Vyacheslav Shtuchnyi covered up the work of the Shkirlyak group.
It is noteworthy that he did not join the scheme immediately, but after some unnamed «activists» handed him a scheme for purchasing coal in the ORDLO, hoping that he would speed up the investigation of the activities of the so-called «Shkirlyak group» that purchased this coal for the TPPs under his control. But the result turned out to be somewhat different — Stushnyi made a deal with Shkriblyak, and the investigation suddenly stalled.
Several criminal cases were opened over the embezzlement of money from the state budget. For 18 months, the SBU office in Chernihiv has been documenting the facts of cost overstatement in the organization of the main activities of the Chernihiv CHP plant (Technova): delivery and transportation of foreign coal, procurement of inventory, implementation of investment and repair programs, as well as the facts of financing of the L/DNR.
At the same time, Shkriblyak was involved in criminal proceedings initiated by the National Police under Part 5 of Article 191 (Misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of office) and Part 3 of Article 209 (Legalization (laundering) of the proceeds of crime) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. (Read more in the article Why has oligarch Anatoliy Shkriblyak, who stole billions from the state, not been punished?)
However, since 2019, when «activists» leaked information to Shtukhnyi, no investigative actions have been taken in these criminal proceedings. According to the latest information, these proceedings were supposed to be closed in early November, but there is no exact information about this yet. It is only known that it is being handled by the head of Shkriblyak’s security service, former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevdokimov. Which, by the way, says a lot about the level of Anatoliy Shkriblyak’s connections and the degree of his integration into the Ukrainian power vertical.
As for Shtukhne, thanks to Mazurov’s deal with the investigation, we know the amount that Shkriblyak paid him: the former Verkhovna Rada chief of staff’s help cost $1,400,000, which was transferred in several tranches.
By the way, the story of the Pravda HERE program, which told about this scheme, is currently unavailable:
As for Anatoliy Shkriblyak’s activities in the field of heat and power supply to consumers, it is worth noting that thanks to his efforts, Chernihiv CHP (TekhNova) was shut down this summer. For the first time in sixty years of operation. According to Viktor Gerashchenko, Deputy Mayor of Chernihiv, «the low electricity prices that are currently set on the free market forced us to shut down the CHPP. They range from 20 to 70 kopecks per kilowatt at a cost of 1.4-1.5 hryvnia. This makes electricity production unprofitable, and the CHPP loses the resource it needs.»
In layman’s terms, the owners of Tekhnova, citing «unprofitability,» were simply blackmailing the city, forcing it to raise utility bills. The blackmail proved successful, as otherwise the city would have risked freezing to death this winter, as TeHNova’s Chernihiv CHP is the only enterprise in Chernihiv that produces both electricity and heat. The CHP plant is one of the main heat supply companies in Chernihiv and provides heat and hot water to 600 houses (over 40% of the total).
The matter is not limited to Chernihiv — from January 1, the cost of heating for residents of the left bank of Kyiv will again increase by 50%. These consumers are supplied with heat by Darnytska TPP, which is also owned by Shkriblyak. It is difficult to calculate the number of such increases. But any consumer of heat and hot water will confirm that prices are rising regularly.
Returning to coal supplies, the testimony of Vitaliy Mykhailyuk, former head of the security unit of TECHNOVA, given last year as part of the investigation into the scheme to withdraw funds from Shkriblyak’s companies and bribe high-ranking law enforcement officials, revealed that Shkriblyak’s companies purchased coal from the L/DNR through Russian firms at throwaway prices, but passed it off as purchased in South Africa and Pennsylvania at market prices.
On average, participants in the schemes managed to earn $21-22 per ton of coal from the occupied territories. The companies controlled by Shkriblyak bought about one and a half million tons of coal a year, thus stealing about $30 million a year from Ukrainian citizens. This made it possible to bribe the NABU leadership for $6 million, for which Mazurova was arrested. Thus, not only the Chief of Staff of the Verkhovna Rada was bribed.
The situation has not changed in 2021:
The coal trains shown in the story were going to Darnytska CHPP. And this is at a time when the supply of coal from ORDLO, which Shkriblyak purchased for his CHPPs, was already being actively investigated by the SBU, the NPU and the NABU.
This confirms the simple fact that these supplies allowed Shkriblyak to earn enough to buy patrons in the highest echelons of power. Stushnyi and NABU became known, but this did not disrupt the scheme at all. So, the main recipient of the “gratitude” is somewhere higher up.
One cannot but mention one more strange circumstance — after the “attempt” on the life of Shefir’s presidential friend in Strana.UA. Strana.ua published the following information: “The owner of Darnytsia, Cherkasy, Chernihiv and Sumy thermal power plants, Anatoliy Shkriblyak, who has recently been abroad, may lose his assets because “people from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s entourage” have their eyes on them. The newspaper’s unnamed source suggested that the shooting at Shefir’s car could have been provoked by Bankova’s attempts to redistribute coal schemes and coal-fired enterprises.
After that, references to Shkriblyak in this context somehow subsided. Attempts to investigate him have also faded away, and even the high-profile case of bribery at the NABU has disappeared from public view.
Yevdokimov “made a deal” with Kyrylo Tymoshenko for Shkriblyak
According to the Fakeoff resource, Anatoliy Shkriblyak’s high-profile case of bribing Sytnyk for $6 million has already been closed.
Now, former Deputy Interior Minister Volodymyr Yevdokimov, nicknamed “Kotovskyi,” is responsible for bribing law enforcement officers under Shkriblyak. Kotovsky has already found his way to the hearts of Serhiy Shefir and Kyrylo Tymoshenko. Tatarov considers Yevdokimov his teacher. So now we can expect a sharp loss of interest on the part of law enforcement agencies in the illegal activities of Shkriblyak’s companies. And the interest was quite specific. Let’s quote the reference: “Facts of embezzlement of funds on a particularly large scale by collusion of the beneficiary (A.V. Shkriblyak) and officials of energy companies”. This document was quoted from the statement: “Facts of embezzlement of large sums of money by the beneficiary (Shkriblyak A.G.) and officials of energy enterprises: LLC “Technova” (Chernihiv Fuel and Energy Complex), LLC “Euroreconstruction” (Darnytsia Fuel and Energy Complex), LLC “Sumyteploenergo” (Sumy Fuel and Energy Complex), PJSC “Cherkasy Chemical Fiber” (Cherkasy Fuel and Energy Complex) — artificial overstatement of costs during the organization of core activities: delivery and transportation of coal from abroad, purchase of inventory, implementation of investment and repair programs, as well as financing of terrorist organizations, illegitimate pseudo-state formations of the LNR-DNR, documented in the following proceedings: — GSU of the National Police № 120190000000968 of 11. 10.10.2019, part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
— SBU SSU No. 220199270000000059 of 09.10.2019, part 1, Article 258-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
— SIS of the National Police No. 4202000000000000984 of 01.06.2020, Part 3 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (entered into the URPTI by the PGO)
— Main State Investigation Department of the National Police No. 4202000000000000985 of 01.06.2020, part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (entered into the URPTI by the PGO). — SSU SSU N 22020000000000196 of 13.08.2020, Part 4 of Art. 110-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.”
So Shkriblyak will calm down. And Kyrylo Tymoshenko will be significantly enriched.
Shkriblyak “cleans up” his criminal past
Skelet.info wrote an article about how Shkriblyak made an unsuccessful attempt to clear compromising materials about himself:
The Minister of Ecology said that Anatoliy Shkribliak misled Kyiv residents about the installation of new filters at Darnitsa TPP
The Minister of environmental protection Ostap Semerak in 2018 told on Facebook about the machinations of the owners of Darnitsa TPP led by Anatoliy Shkriblyak:
«The management of Darnytska TPP did not let environmental inspectors unscheduled to check the fulfillment of orders to eliminate violations :((((
Although as early as March 21, the Ukrainian media were full of optimistic headlines: ‘Darnitskaya CHPP installs a new filter, which will reduce the amount of harmful emissions by 40 times’.
So where is the filter?
Why didn’t the environmental inspectors get a chance to see it, too? Strange, isn’t it? Let me remind you that only during 2017-2018, representatives of the State Environmental Inspection found a number of violations of environmental legislation by Darnitsa CHPP. This was the excess of emissions of harmful substances into the air, and discharges into the water, the remains of which were recorded as far as in the Kanevskoye reservoir. At the same time, Darnytska CHP promised to eliminate all the shortcomings. It would seem that this is a normal logical course of solving the problem between society, government and business, but the management of Darnytska CHPP backed up.
However, this does not mean that the authorities will do the same.
Darnytska CHPP is the #1 issue for the joint working group of the Ministry of Environment and KSCA. It was so at the beginning of the agreements on coordination of work, it is so now.
It will be the same from now on.
P. S. Ecoinspection has already appealed to the National Police with a demand to provide access.
The management of Darnytsia CHPP is destroying another lake in Pozniaky
For the past four years, Darnytsia CHPP No. 4 has been discharging its production waste, a hot coal mixture, into the Haryachka Lake in Kyiv’s Pozniaky neighborhood. As a result, the picturesque reservoir, located in a cascade of 36 natural lakes, has turned into a sump.
Across the road from Lake Garyachka is Lake Solnechne. In recent years, this lake was considered one of the most polluted, and swimming in it was strictly prohibited. Today, the water in Solnechne is covered with a blue-green film due to rotting algae.
Today, thermal power plants operate mostly boiler plants that were designed and built several decades ago. At that time, the main task of the creators and operating personnel was to ensure efficient fuel combustion: high efficiency, low losses, and long-term trouble-free operation. Nowadays, in addition to the above, new environmental requirements are being put forward for equipment.
The furnace produces a certain amount of nitrogen oxide NO. Before leaving the boiler, part of the nitrogen oxide is converted to nitrogen dioxide NO2. In addition, the ash contains silicon, aluminum and iron oxides, as well as a large amount of carbon, the so-called coal underburning.
If ash dumps are located near residential areas, the wind disperses the volatile coal mixture. This can have an extremely negative impact on human health. Long-term exposure to even relatively low concentrations of NOx increases the number of acute and chronic respiratory diseases.
But the saddest thing is that constant inhalation of this “cocktail” can provoke cancer. Increased concentrations of nitrogen oxides also have a negative impact on flora and fauna. If ash dumps are accumulated and stored in unprepared places, there is a high probability of groundwater contamination, which, in turn, poses a threat of poisoning nearby water bodies.
Shkriblyak and Yefimov prevent the adoption of the law on state environmental control
Anatoliy Shkriblyak, the owner of Darnytsia TPP, and Maksym Yefimov, who is credited with actual control over PJSC Centrenergo, are preventing the adoption of the draft law “On State Environmental Control”. This draft law was registered in the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) on February 19, 2020, but has not yet passed even the first reading.
KievVlast learned this from the head of the State Environmental Inspectorate, Andriy Malyovanyi.
According to Andriy Malyovanyi, there are problems with the passage of the draft law “On State Environmental Control” (No. 3091 — KV), which is being opposed by DTEK, Darnytska TPP and PJSC Centrenergo.
“There are lobbying groups that do not want the project to be approved. But there is political will and understanding that we must ‘turn our backs on the environment’. I hope that the lobby will soften. We will fight for the law,” said the head of the State Environmental Inspectorate.
