A company linked to the Family has had its subsoil use licenses revoked.

The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources has revoked 17 previously issued special permits for subsoil use to Golden Derrick, a company associated with the "family" of former President Viktor Yanukovych, who fled to Russia.
The head of the Ministry of Ecology, Andriy Mokhnik, announced this at a briefing, UNIAN reports.
"Seventeen licenses have been revoked for Golden Derrick, which is linked to Stavytsky (former Energy Minister Eduard Stavytsky), who is part of Yanukovych's inner circle," Mokhnik said.
He also announced that the revoked Golden Derrick licenses are planned to be put up for public auction for sale to other companies that intend to engage in mineral extraction.
As is known, at the end of March, the Prosecutor General's Office revoked six special permits for the development of oil and gas fields from the Golden Derrick company.
An investigation conducted by the Prosecutor General's Office found that in 2011-2012, the State Service of Geology and Subsoil issued 48 special permits to Golden Derrick for the development and production of oil and gas fields in the Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Sumy, and Kharkiv regions without holding auctions.
According to the audit, 26 decisions were made without the documents required by law.
For another 16 sites granted to the company for use, more than UAH 5 million in geological information required for the use of minerals has not been paid to the budget for two years.
As a reminder, former Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Eduard Stavytskyi has been placed on the wanted list as part of an investigation into the activities of controversial businessman and chairman of the SEPEK holding company, Serhiy Kurchenko.
As is known, on March 21, investigators from the Prosecutor General's Office seized approximately 50 kg of gold and $5 million from Stavitsky's apartment.
