Contractor suspected of embezzling over ₴1 million during repairs
The Buchanan District Prosecutor's Office has reported suspicions to the company's director. He is accused of official forgery and embezzlement of budget funds in a particularly large amount.
This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office.
This is about funds from the Makariv local community. The money was allocated for the restoration of residential buildings damaged during the full-scale Russian invasion.
The investigation established that in August-September 2023, the head of the contractor company prepared and issued knowingly false official documents. In the documents, he noted work that was not actually performed during the repair of the roof of an apartment building.
It was these forged acts that became the basis for the transfer of over UAH 1.1 million in budget funds, which the suspect illegally seized.
The prosecutor's office initiated the selection of a preventive measure for the suspect - detention. For official forgery (Part 2 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and appropriation of budget funds in an especially large amount (Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), the defendant faces up to twelve years of imprisonment with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years and confiscation of property.
It was previously reported that law enforcement officers had declared suspicion against the director of a construction company. He was supposed to organize repairs at the lyceum, but instead, according to police, he embezzled over 330,000 hryvnias.
The Kyiv prosecutor's office also reported suspicions to the former vice-rector of one of the capital's universities. He is accused of official negligence, which caused the budget to lose 2.1 million hryvnias on the renovation of the educational institution.
The Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office has filed charges against the deputy director of a private enterprise. He is suspected of allegedly embezzling money during the improvement of the communal base area.
