The other day, NABU detectives conducted a search of Mykola Povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the KMDA, in the case of embezzlement of capital budget funds in the amount of more than 38 million hryvnias. According to our sources, this is only the tip of the iceberg, but even this criminal case will not end with actual court sentences for those involved.
It will be recalled that Mykola Povoroznyk gained control over the departments of health care, economy and finance of the KMDA thanks to his connections with Vadym Stolar, who became a key figure for the Office in matters of regaining control over the capital. It is through Mykola Povoroznyk that OP has access to shadow schemes related to the development of the capital's budget.
According to our sources, today the structure of kickbacks in the KMDA is as follows: 5 percent is taken by Mykola Povoroznyk, 1 percent by the head of the mayor's patronage service, 1 percent by the Department of Economy, 2 percent by the Department of Finance, 2 percent by the relevant department, and 5 percent is “deferred” to law enforcement agencies for "non-interference".
It was under this rollback scheme that repairs were to be carried out at the "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital for War Veterans", where the capital's budget could lose UAH 38,124,272 on the purchase of construction materials alone.
It is worth noting that Mykola Povoroznyk also determines the contractor company for most tenders of the KMDA. In this context, it is worth mentioning separately the LLC "ABSOLUTKLIMAT" (EDRPOU code: 35837877), which also appears in the NABU case, regarding corruption abuses during the renovation of the "Kyiv City Clinical Hospital of War Veterans". Interestingly, the company "AbsolutKlimat" is connected not only with Mykola Povoroznyk, but also with people close to ex-president Yanukovych.

But will there be real responsibility for those involved in the NABU case of embezzlement of the capital's budget?
According to our sources from the law enforcement agencies, Mykola Povoroznyk did not expect searches at his home and was very nervous during the investigation. This information is indirectly confirmed by comment , in which he called NABU searches "psychological pressure on me and my family."
According to our insiders in the OP, the reason why Povoroznyk was nervous during the searches is the fact that he has not communicated directly with Andriy Yermak for a long time, who entrusted the curatorship of Povoroznyk to Oleg Tatarov. But Tatarov did not contact Povoroznyk that often either, entrusting this activity to a professional "watcher".
It was Oleg Tatarov's "watcher", according to our sources, who assured Mykola Povoroznyk that the NABU criminal case, in which he is one of the defendants, does not threaten him with real prison terms. We will see later whether this is the case, and whether there will be real court verdicts in the NABU case of embezzlement of the capital's budget.
