Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors from the Prosecutor General's Office, law enforcement officers exposed an organized group that established a scheme to supply reagents to PrJSC "AK "Kyivvodokanal" that did not meet the terms of the contract and were actually unsuitable for effective water purification.
The investigation established that the organizer of the criminal group involved the director of a limited liability company that supplied the enterprise with chemical reagents.
With the help of his subordinates, the company manager replaced the expensive and high-quality ferric chloride coagulant with cheap reagents of dubious quality.
To hide the fact of the substitution, false information was entered in the reporting documentation about the alleged fulfillment of the contract terms. As a result, the group members took possession of more than three million hryvnias of the company's funds.
The organizer and director of the LLC are charged with:
-
appropriation of another's property (part 3 of article 27, part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine),
-
official forgery (Part 3 of Article 27, Part 3 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The company's subordinates are suspected of being complicit in the same crimes.
All suspects were served with a motion to choose preventive measures in the form of detention. The final decision will be made by the court.
This case once again demonstrates the scale of abuses in the supply of strategically important resources, on which the quality of drinking water for residents of the capital directly depends.
