The Esclab Medical Laboratory Network, which has long been associated with quality and stability, is now forced to overcome the consequences of the management crisis. In the center of the scandal is its former CEO and co -owner Sergey Dyadushko. According to the Lviv police, in January 2024 criminal proceedings were opened on suspicion of appropriation of more than UAH 20 million. The investigation believes that the funds were withdrawn from the company through fictitious contracts with individuals-entrepreneurs who did not actually perform any work.
Criminal proceedings are opened under Article 191 (4) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - "appropriation, misappropriation of property or seizure of it by abuse of office in particularly large amounts."
The period that covers the investigation coincides with the deep internal crisis phase on the network: debts have accumulated in the Kiev unit "Esclab-Center", salaries were delayed, and some laboratories temporarily stopped their work. The company's financial performance has deteriorated sharply.
StopCor journalistic investigation Only after its removal was stabilized. The new management team conducted an audit, paid the wages and stopped the fall.
Nevertheless, part of the company's assets, according to the sources of the editorial board, can still be under the control of an uncle - which creates risks to reputation and sustainable development of "esculab" in the future.
The person involved in the proceedings does not comment on the situation publicly. And the company refrains from official applications, referring to a long investigation.
Against the backdrop of increased public attention to medical services, the Esclab case can be indicative - both in the sense of responsibility for abuse and in the context of the importance of transparent management in socially sensitive areas.
