Ukrzaliznytsia “back office” case: procurement of transformers at inflated prices

According to NABU and SAPO, in June–December 2022 the so-called «back office» of JSC «Ukrzaliznytsia» ensured that a company controlled by a citizen of Belarus was selected as the supplier of power transformers; an SBU letter «On threats to state security» became the grounds for rejecting more advantageous offers. In 2024 NABU estimated Ukrzaliznytsia's losses in 2022–2024 at UAH 94.8 million (in a 2026 announcement — «almost UAH 100 million»; Bihus.Info gives UAH 100 million). A. Shyl was served a notice of suspicion as the group's leader in April 2024; on 11 August 2026 the indictment against the organisers was sent to court. Two other participants were convicted under plea agreements. Persons whose indictment has been sent to court are presumed innocent until their guilt is proven by a court verdict; there is no verdict regarding A. Shyl.
