Corruption Uncovered at DP "Document" for UAH 21M

A large-scale corruption scheme involving former and current officials of the institution was exposed in the state enterprise "Dokument". According to investigators, they embezzled UAH 21 million from the state budget. This was reported on Thursday, June 19, by the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine and the Prosecutor General's Office.

Investigators found that from October 2022 to November 2023, the director of the foreign branch of the State Enterprise "Dokument" forged documents in which she indicated that five employees of the company were allegedly on a business trip in a neighboring country. In fact, these employees were actually located and working in the central office in Kyiv. At the same time, the indicated employees received two salaries: in Ukraine and on a foreign bank card for fictitious services.

Employees who received double salaries transferred part of this money to the organizers of the criminal scheme in the form of “kickbacks.”

Investigators identified 66 unfounded wage accruals. By doing so, the suspects caused the state 21 million UAH in losses.

Law enforcement officers have charged eight former and current employees of the State Enterprise "Dokument", including the director of a foreign branch and two accountants. They are charged with embezzlement and aiding and abetting embezzlement of property through abuse of official position (Part 5 of Article 27, Part 4 of Article 191, Part 4 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

As a reminder, the court increased the bail for former military officer Borisov.

We also reported that the HACC extended the duties of former judge Zaverius.
