Oleg Sundukov, found guilty under articles of fraud and embezzlement (part 4 of article 159 and part 4 of article 160 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), received nine years in prison and a fine of 1 million rubles. Yuri Yushchak, accused of complicity in fraud (part 5 of article 33 and part 4 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), was sentenced to three and a half years in prison and a fine of 200 thousand rubles. Vadim Matveev, found guilty under Part 4 of Art. 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, received five years in prison and a fine of 500 thousand rubles.

The criminal case under the article on fraud on an especially large scale was initiated by the Main Military Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia in January 2017. Oleg Sundukov and Yuri Yushchak were arrested in October 2018. The investigation found that the three defendants entered into fictitious contracts to create automated data systems that were not expedient and had an inflated cost.

The defendants' defense insisted that the systems developed by Energodata worked properly. Yuri Yushchak's lawyer, Maxim Pashkov, argued that the feasibility of developing systems should have been determined by the joint-stock company, and not by the investigating authorities. According to Pashkov, none of the defendants pleaded guilty.

The investigation established that the contracts between Energodata LLC and Oboronenergosbyt JSC were fictitious. The organization, headed by Vadim Matveyev, was supposed to provide services in the field of information technology, but investigators considered that the price of contracts was greatly overestimated, and the very creation of systems was inappropriate. The defendants argued that all systems worked properly and their development was justified.^[2]
