The former head of the Kiev Utility Company for the provision of ritual services will be tried for large -scale theft of budgetary funds. According to the National Police, from 2020 to 2023 he, together with two accomplices, created a scheme with a fictitious employment and took over more than 21 million hryvnias.
According to the investigation, the director staged 23 fictitious workers - the so -called "cleaners of cemeteries" who did not actually appear at the facilities. At the same time, the salary for them regularly was accrued and received on bank cards controlled by the suspects.
The key role in the scheme was also played by the head of the personnel department, who signed false operating time reports, and another accomplice - the former employee of the enterprise who was engaged in withdrawal of cash from the account.
In three years, the criminal group was able to assign 21 million hryvnias from the budget of the utility. In the course of the investigation, law enforcement officers conducted a number of searches and investigative actions, which resulted in the return of almost 16 million.
Currently, the indictment against all three defendants has been sent to court. They are accused of organizing a corruption scheme using official position, forgery and appropriation of property in particularly large amounts.
The case will be considered at the place of crime. If the defendants are proven, they are threatened with long -term imprisonment with confiscation of property.
