The main military prosecutor general's office has synchronously raided 28 houses and premises of companies, including those related to officials of Ukrzaliznytsia as part of the pretrial investigation in the criminal case under Part 3, Article 258-5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (financing terrorists).

"It was established that some commercial enterprises and officials of public joint-stock company Ukrzaliznytsia organized the delivery of products of companies located in so-called LPR/DPR for the needs of Ukrzaliznytsia using public funds and paying through some shell companies to the budgets of pseudo-republics," the public relations department of Prosecutor General's Office reported.

"These persons in the interests of Russia, being representatives of Russian enterprises [including Federal Freight sanctioned by Ukraine), with the help of officials of Ukrzaliznytsia reduced the tariffs for Russian companies when they signed contracts to carry out transit cargo transportation by rail in Ukraine," the department said.

Documents and money have been seized during the raids.
