Ukrainian businessman Kurchenko put on international wanted list, says PGO

Ukrainian businessman, and head of the Supervisory Board of the VETEK company Serhiy Kurchenko has been put on the international wanted list, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine reported.

"The prosecutor's office has brought charges against Head of the Supervisory Board of the VETEK company Kurchenko, who has been put on the international wanted list," the head of the main department for the protection of rights and freedoms of citizens and interests of the state, fighting corruption and crime in transport sector, Oleksiy Denysiuk, said at a briefing in Kyiv on Wednesday.

He also noted that as a result of inspections conducted in March, the Prosecutor General's Office launched criminal proceedings against officials of the state-owned enterprises - producers of liquefied natural gas - Ukrgazvydobuvannia, Chornomornaftogaz, and Ukrnafta, who deliberately overstated the volume of the real demand of natural gas provided to households.

"The excess of liquefied natural gas, which was created in such a way, was sold to commercial structures, which subsequently sold it at gas stations," Denysiuk said.

The amount of the damage caused by these actions is more than UAH 1 billion, he said.
