Gilding, marble, and crocodile: footage released of search of businessman’s penthouse, linked to protection of energy facilities in Kyiv region. VIDEO
A video has been published online showing a luxurious penthouse in the capital, which is linked to Vladyslav Sokolov, a businessman from Dnipro. His name has been mentioned in journalistic reports concerning possible irregularities during the construction of protective structures for energy facilities in the Kyiv region.
According to Censor.NET, the footage of the property was shared following reports of searches carried out as part of an investigation into the possible overpricing of materials used to protect energy facilities.
The reports mention luxurious interiors, marble columns, gilding, a swimming pool and even a live crocodile. Journalists link the penthouse to Sokolov, although there is currently no official confirmation of ownership of the property.
According to the information released, the total value of the contracts for the construction of protective structures amounted to approximately 1.89 billion hryvnias. This sum represents the value of the contracts, not the established amount of losses.
Law enforcement agencies are investigating possible overpricing of metal products supplied for the construction. The investigation must determine the final conclusions regarding the involvement of specific individuals.
