According to NABU and SAPO, in 2018 an entrepreneur — the leader of an organised group — with the help of acquaintances in the Government secured the appointment of group members to senior positions at JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia"; in 2018–2020 Ukrzaliznytsia officials ensured that a company he controlled won a tender for pneumatic tools, which were supplied at an inflated price; the overpayment was UAH 11.4 million. On 26 February 2024 notices of suspicion under Article 191(5) of the Criminal Code were served on 9 persons, including six current and former Ukrzaliznytsia officials. Official statements do not name names; according to Suspilne, cited by ZN.UA, the notice of suspicion was received by former Ukrzaliznytsia board chairman Yevhen Kravtsov. On 5 November 2025 SAPO sent to court an indictment against 10 group members (together with an episode of procurement of spare parts for freight wagons — UAH 51 million in total); whether Kravtsov is among the defendants has not been verified from official sources. There is no verdict; the person is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court.
