By their actions, the attackers caused damage to the state in the amount of more than 260 thousand hryvnias. For their actions, they are threatened with imprisonment for up to eight years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions.
Investigators of the Obolon Police Department together with the Security Service of Ukraine under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office №5 initiated criminal proceedings against officials of the state specialized enterprise.

Law enforcers found out that in the electronic public procurement system, the tender committee started the relevant procurement. Among the seven participants, they chose an enterprise with a much lower than market value. The tender offer was the cost of 16.5 hryvnias for one liter of fuel.
