The alleged plan is based on a summary of intercepted communications and describes the use of a US-funded infrastructure project in Ukraine as cover. The officials wanted to structure the project so that it would initially receive approval and funding, but later be deemed unnecessary—by which time the funds would already have been disbursed and be difficult to recover.

Up to 90 percent of the allocated funds could have been redirected in a way that would make tracing the transfers difficult.
