Sumy exposed a large -scale corruption scheme in the management of the regional department of tax service. Officials tried to get millions of hryvnias because of a fictitious tender for repairing their own administrative building, which was affected by the fall of Russian Dron-Kamikadze Shahd.
About it reports the International Detective Bureau of ABSURTION.
How the scheme worked
After the explosion of the drone, the roof of the control building on the street was damaged. Illinskaya, 13 began to flow. Officials decided to take advantage of the situation and announced a tender for repair worth 3.89 million hryvnias, the main purpose of which was to obtain a "rollback".
The mediator in the scheme was the official of the State Migration Service Vladislav Bugasov, who was to receive 20% of the contract value.
Two companies took part in the tender:
- Sumylavbud a real construction company.
- " Industrial Trans Group " is a fictitious enterprise that was actually controlled by Melnik and Mazurenko.
The winner was the Industrial Trans Group with a supply of UAH 3.45 million. Half of this money planned to assign the management in the form of "rollback".
A fictitious contractor instead of repair was traded by alcohol
The contractor who was to do the work was fictitious. "Industrial Trans Group":
- She did not have production facilities and construction equipment.
- Did not own skilled workers.
- I bought not building materials, but beer, vodka and food.
It is obvious that the true purpose of the tender was not the repair of the building, but the laundering of budgetary funds.
After the removal of Elena Khotenko through other corruption scandals, her successor Svetlana Krasnyukov canceled the tender to avoid problems with law enforcement. This caused dissatisfaction with the scheme participants:
- The Bugasov mediator was left without money.
- Mazurenko began to abuse alcohol because the management demanded the return of "lost" funds.
Khotenko and Mazurenko remained in tax
Despite the corruption scandals, Olena Khotenko remains in the state of the tax service, although she was on leave for more than 100 days in the last year, having worked only 50. She was signed by the head of the State Tax Service of Ukraine Natalia Kiyashko.
Oleksiy Mazurenko also returned to work, although he was dismissed earlier due to receiving fake disabilities. Officially, it is called by the inspector, but in fact occupies the office of the first deputy and performs the same functions as before.
