"I am preparing instructions for all regions. In the shortest term, a month and a half, functioning of all regional water supply companies, heat supply companies, gas supply organizations must be inspected if they cooperate with fake structures, using which from 20% to 30% of the cash cost of provided services are involved in money laundering. In some regions up to 40%," he said.
