embezzling more than 200 million hryvnias, this is stated on the website of the national anti-corruption bureau of ukraine . there were actions that were qualified in certain parts. kobolev himself led the investigation. they found that the head of the company in may 18th, contrary to the requirements of the law , issued an order to reward the company's employees, on the basis of which he was paid almost 261 million uah . let 's take a look at the materials. colleagues have tried to tell you the most important thing in detail, and then we'll talk about loud embezzlement and finally the suspicion of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office together with nabu detectives took up the investigation of exorbitant bonuses in naftogaz, the former head of naku andriy kobolev was already suspected of violating the law in 2018, he extracted almost 10 million

dollars from naftogaz as a bonus, this is how the former official assessed his merits in the case regarding the contract with russian gazprom when the ukrainian side won in the stockholm arbitration, as established by law enforcement officers in 2017, kobolev had already written out a bonus for these extraordinary achievements, it amounted to uah 12.5 million, but the head of the naku decided not to stop and rewarded himself again in the current equivalent , the amount of state losses for this episode alone is almost half a billion hryvnias since the 15th year to prove to society that the kobelyaks are essentially an adventure and the path they took over naftogaz led to not just colossal losses it also led to enormous damage to the country's energy security. it is reported that during the investigation of the kobolev prize case, the

anti-corruption authorities faced significant obstacles from the former leadership officials of the state-owned company tried to hide the circumstances of the bonus and even blocked the access of the investigation to the relevant documentation , and this is far from the first criminal case about embezzlement in oil and gas with the participation of andriy kobelev . according to the kobolev investigation, naftogaz may have been involved in the illegal withdrawal of large volumes of natural gas from state property in favor of fictitious companies, investigators are conducting a pre-trial investigation into the illegal alienation of 35 million cubic meters of natural gas by officials of ukrtransgaz naftogaz of ukraine, with the participation of other persons, the investigation is verifying

information regarding the legality of naftogaz of ukraine's return of debt to commercial structures that arose more than 20 years ago at the end of 1999. the ukrenergozbut company handed over 418 million cubic meters of fuel to the state ukrtransgaz for transportation to its customers ukrtransgaz did not fulfill its obligations and 305 million cubic meters of gas simply disappeared for more than 10 years, the issue of the return of the resource was not resolved until suddenly at the end of 2020 the commercial court of the city of kyiv approves a settlement agreement for nothing by three companies behind ukrenergozbut pjsc ukrtransgaz and two unknown people, the financial company finnvest and profigaz the last i became the owner of 35 million cubic meters of natural gas, investigative journalists established that these firms were fictitious small businesses and constantly

changed their registration addresses and managers on at that time, the director of profigaz, anna burova , did not even know that she suddenly became the heir to an astronomical resource, the value of which at the current exchange rate is more than uah 3 billion, or nothing. the former head of naftogaz, now suspected in the award case, andriy kobolev, was a direct participant in the gas scheme . 305 million cubic meters of state fuel to be transferred to an efficient company, which legalized the trafficker, and it was after this order that the settlement agreement began to work by the management of naftogaz, the order of actions directed at the transfer of the state resource

of natural gas in favor of a legal entity called profigas, which was not a party to the case at all, the fraudsters literally in a few months resold the fuel stolen from the state and threw the ends into the water. they did not visit kobolev with searches , and this case has not yet been brought to court, instead, the investigation was interested in other abuses from the head of naftogaz with a mimic bonus in the amount of almost half a billion hryvnia, kobolev himself stated on his page in the social network that he is now forced to return from abroad back to ukraine due to the news of the suspicion, realizing that its preparation is taking place, when he was abroad , he immediately returned to ukraine in order not to give a reason for accusations, did i run away somewhere or am i hiding this i’m not going to do it for sure, but i ’m going to prove my excuse and whether

kobolev will be able to prove his innocence this time, when the law enforcement officers finally admitted that by declaring the company’s billion-dollar loss every year , the management of naftogaz could the same billions for fictitious companies and exorbitant remuneration. article 191 of the criminal code incriminates embezzlement or appropriation of property by abuse of official position. it provides imprisonment for a term of up to 12 years, so the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office demands to take the former chairman of the board of naftogaz into custody. the relevant petition regarding kobolev has already been sent to what are you doing with the anti-corruption court ? well, so to speak. this is not the first case against mr. kobolev, as far as we understand the rest of the story is extremely difficult in our studio, people's deputy oleg senyuk is currently working on the panel how do you see the development

of this case and in general the probability of real prosecution of mr. kobolev yes, we understand well, the story about the awards is one story and the second story is more additional hundreds of cubic meters of gas, well, first of all, the positive thing is that the anti-corruption vertical is starting to produce results today. i remember very well how much effort was made in 17-18 to get the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office and the higher anti-corruption court finally began to function at the beginning of 2019 , they began to function, and it was a victory for our country, because in the end there was hope that corrupt officials from the highest echelons of power will answer to the law like all citizens. then you remember we are wondering what was the story of the specialized

anti-corruption prosecutor's office delaying tenders, not appointing them, now the same story is being repeated with the leadership of nabu and it has already reached the point that in the memorandum with as a european community, you know that the european union is helping ukraine today in the amount of 18 billion euros, the first tranche of 3 billion euros has already been received, it is indicated that in the first quarter of this year, ukraine as a state undertakes to complete the competition for the election of the head of the nabu in accordance with the current legislation and all criteria that is, these two years of an incomprehensible struggle against anti-corruption bodies. they must eventually stop, and the result that today shows is something that pleases me, i do not want to judge whether it is good or bad, because for this is the law and they will act according to the law, but the fact that they began to act actively is 100% good news about p. kobolev. i do not

have information about the three billion, i am convinced that this will really become a matter of investigation regarding the e-e award because it sounded like the main accusations against mr. kobolev on the one hand of course, 260 million premiums is an unthinkable amount for many ukrainians and it is obvious on the other hand well, surely in court he will answer why exactly such an amount and what these were spent on funds because we know that at that time the courts were won in russia, and these were extremely dangerous legal processes for ukraine, in the event of a loss, we would have had naftogaz of ukraine dispossessed, and then we would not only have a military threat today. we would also have the past year, a huge economic threat, and it is good that we

won these courts. i am convinced that this is exactly the case where kobolev is. we must give credit and give credit for our financial activities and financial results. it seems to me that there is still some inaccuracy here was or maybe the years are indicated incorrectly because in the 17th, 18th, and 19th years, naftogaz was a profitable structure, and in fact, the amount of funds paid by naftogaz accounted for the lion's share of revenues for the state budget of ukraine, unfortunately, during the 20th and 21st years. i will not mention the 22nd, because this is a war, it is completely different, but in the 20-21st year, naftogaz turned into a structure that suffered millions of losses, and therefore i am convinced that other law enforcement agencies should be on the lookout to ask the question why is such a huge profitable company short period time, naftogaz has actually turned into a

banknote company; more than that, the remaining funds that were in naftogaz as of 2019 have disappeared somewhere, and this should also be the subject of an investigation, therefore, firstly, kobolev will definitely defend himself, and secondly, he should be given credit, he was a participant from the beginning from president poroshenko and ending with the head of naftogaz, efforts to win from the international court in gazprom and those assets that we saved for our country well, thirdly, it is very good that we hear today and every official feels that nabu sab is following them and this is good news, mr. oleg zno, this is a procedural point, so he is suspected in kobolev of taking over uah 229 million there in the form of a bonus for winning the arbitration against gazprom , yes, and for certain information, he later

transferred 7, 9 million dollars of this bonus to his mother, yes, it still needs to be checked, but the key story here is that he is accused of receiving a huge bonus. another huge bonus, well, he really did something. well, i don’t know. klitschko would have opened a branch in the subway there, or filatov would have done something like that. well, he would have written out some colossal bonus for himself, but how about such things, there will be a collective point of view. i am convinced that everyone a ukrainian will not accept this because, well, 200 million hryvnias is not just a huge amount, it is some kind of mega huge amount, and i would say that from a moral point of view, it is not acceptable.

it is very interesting that he hid his verdict in this process from the supervisory board . as far as i understand, there were restrictions on the awarded premium. well, because there was a certain ceiling above which it was impossible to raise it. well, he wrote out something that, again, he should not have written out for himself, but here regarding this case, who was spoken against, the material also talked about this gas, which was transferred there a very, very long time ago to a non -subsidiary company of ukraine, nak naftogaz of ukraine, the company ukrainergozbut. well, it actually disappeared somewhere there, part of the gas was used part of the gas disappeared somewhere, it is not known to whom it was transferred, that is, there is a whole bunch of cases now. well, there are at least a few of them. however, kobolev is returning to ukraine. in the event that it is conducted and proven, and the question arises as to whether it will not turn out that he has certain patrons in those cases, well, in some powerful institutions, and not alone, he

could do something wrong there, that is, the question that is allegedly also against koblevo now the investigation is ongoing. but won't kobolev be a dangerous witness for other people because they don't think that big things can be done in ukraine, as they say on their own , what do we want in this story? we want justice and we want everything to comply with the letter of the law. i am convinced that if this the process will be public. and if the anti-corruption authorities will really act in accordance with the letter of the law, then justice will prevail. i do not want us to accuse or defend today, because once again i say from a moral point of view, i do not accept a bonus of 200 million at a time when the country was definitely not in the best situation from a legal point of view. i think that in 2023 all the dots will be placed, judging by the fact that kobolev did not run away as he says, but turned
