A scandal broke out in the Kyiv region with significant losses to the state budget due to the actions of an official of the territorial community. Detectives of the Bureau of Economic Security exposed the head of the financial department of one of the communities of Bilotserkiv district, who, according to them, caused losses in the amount of over 93 million hryvnias due to improper performance of his official duties.
The investigation established that more than UAH 93 million of "military" personal income tax was accumulated in the accounts of the village council, which, according to the current legislation, should have been directed to the state budget for defense needs, in particular, for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for the purchase of artillery systems and State Special Communications for the implementation of measures for the purchase of special equipment.
The transfer of funds from the relevant local budget to the state budget was carried out by drawing a loan from a single treasury account.
The head of the finance department of the village council was aware of the need to repay the loan, but did not take measures and did not issue a corresponding order.
In the future, contrary to the law, the mentioned funds were transferred to repay other expenses of the community. In particular, for the acquisition of a complex of non-residential buildings and plant structures in the Kyiv region, the activity of which was discontinued back in 2010. Also, the defendant directed part of the funds to the deposit accounts of subordinate enterprises in the housing and communal sector.
