Law enforcement officers exposed a scheme of embezzlement of over 1.6 million UAH, which, according to the investigation, involved two officials of the Odesa City Council and representatives of commercial structures.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
According to the police, the former head and first deputy of the Department of Municipal Security of the Odesa City Council entered into a conspiracy with representatives of two private companies. They organized the purchase of walkie-talkies for the Odesa Military District through controlled enterprises, holding a tender for a predetermined winner.
According to the terms of the agreement, the winner had to supply 300 radios with additional batteries. However, as the investigators found, the participants of the scheme illegally included value added tax (VAT) in the cost of the contract, although the supply of goods for the needs of the military is exempt from this tax.
Thus, the defendants unjustly seized budget funds in the amount of 1,661,510 hryvnias.
During searches in Odesa, Odesa, and Kyiv regions, law enforcement officers seized financial documentation, contracts, drafts, and electronic media that confirm illegal actions.
All four participants of the scheme were charged under Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — embezzlement of state funds in particularly large amounts, committed by a group of persons with abuse of official position.
The sanction of the article provides imprisonment for up to 12 years with confiscation of property and a ban on holding managerial positions.
At the moment, investigators are deciding the issue of choosing a preventive measure for the suspects.
Earlier, an employee of the Department of Education of the Dnipro District State Administration of the city of Kyiv, who was responsible for procurement, and a contractor who supplied goods for educational institutions were exposed in fraud with budget funds.
It will be recalled that the law enforcement officers are checking the scandalous official from Kyiv Nataliya Ivanina.
