In particular, Ukrainian businessman Renat Akhmetov earns more than $2 billion over railway transportation schemes. Ukraine loses about $ 700 million per year because of schemes by ex-People's Front MP Mykola Martynenko, who has recently resigned his deputy's mandate.
Saakashvili added that the owner of Privat group Ihor Kolomoiskyi deprives the state of $2-2.5 billion yearly through Privatbank and Ukrnafta.
The state loses about $500 million because of the schemes organized by Dmytro Firtash, Saakashvili said. According to his information, the Cabinet intends to "return" Firtash $200 million in the nearest future.
