Larysa Sargan, press secretary for the Prosecutor General, announced that Vladislav Kaskiv, former head of the State Agency for Investment and National Projects Management, was detained in Panama by law enforcement officers. It was previously reported that, under his leadership, Gosinvestproekt successfully "mastered" several hundred million hryvnias of public funds between 2010 and 2014.

Among the charges under Part 5 of Article 191 (embezzlement) and Part 2 of Article 366 (forgery) of the Criminal Code, the detainee was declared a suspect in a case involving the theft of state funds in 2012-2013 in the amount of 7,5 million hryvnias under an agreement concluded by Kaskiv for the provision of advertising services.

However, one of the most striking scams involved the conclusion of an invalid contract with Gas Natural (Spain), which had promised to lead a consortium of investors for the construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal. As it later turned out, the company's representatives never visited Ukraine, and the contract was signed on their behalf by a certain Jordi Sarda Bonvei, who, upon closer inspection, turned out to be a ski instructor rather than a professional sales representative.
