Under the procedural guidance of prosecutors of the Prosecutor General's Office, an organized group was exposed that supplied low-quality chemical reagents unsuitable for effective water purification to PrJSC "AK "Kyivvodokanal". This was reported by "Law and Business" with reference to the UGP.
The investigation established that the organizer of the scheme involved the director of an LLC that supplied reagents to the water utility. With the help of subordinates, he replaced the expensive ferric chloride coagulant with a cheap and questionable reagent. To hide the substitution, false data was entered into the documentation.
As a result of the actions of the group members, losses amounting to over 3 million hryvnias were caused.
The organizer and director of the LLC have been reported on suspicion of misappropriation of property and official forgery. The company's employees are suspected of aiding and abetting these crimes.
The suspects have now been served with a request for preventive measures in the form of detention. The investigation is ongoing, and all possible damages and the scale of fraudulent actions are being verified.
