Kyiv heat and power supplier PJSC Kyivenergo, controlled by businessman Rinat Akhmetov, owes UAH 3.09 billion to state-run NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine for natural gas, and Kyiv's prosecutors have filed a claim in court, demanding the debt be repaid.
The claim against Kyivenergo was lodged by the deputy prosecutor of Kyiv in the interests of the Energy and Coal Industry Ministry and Naftogaz, according to the register of judgments.
The claim says Kyivenergo failed to duly implement a gas contract dated January 12, 2015, as a result of which UAH 3.09 billion in debts to Naftogaz was accumulated.
Kyiv's commercial court is scheduled to hear the case on September 4, 2015.
