In Kiev, law enforcement officers exposed a large -scale scheme of appropriation of budget funds allocated for major repairs in the educational institutions of the capital. The scheme includes six people, including officials of the Kyiv City State Administration (KSCA), director of the sports educational institution, representatives of the construction company and its subordinates.
According to the National Police, the corruption scheme has been in operation since 2023. For repairs in the sports lyceum and two other metropolitan schools concluded direct contracts with a controlled construction company through the mechanism of simplified purchases. The materials for repairs were purchased through an individual entrepreneur who was one of the employees of the contracting company.
The prices for materials were significantly overstated, and the documentation contained false data on the volume, quality and cost of the work performed. As a result, the contractor unreasonably received more than UAH 2.2 million from the city budget, which is confirmed by expertise.
One of the participants of the scheme was engaged in conversion of illegally received funds into cash. The money was transferred to the organizer of the scheme - the KSCA official, who distributed them among all participants of the equipment.
On January 22, law enforcement officers searched the suspects. Computers, mobile phones, documents and rough records were removed, confirming the involvement of the persons involved in the crime.
On the basis of the evidence collected by six persons, in particular the KSCA officials, the deputy director of the boarding school, the sub-correspondence and representatives of the contracting company, suspected of articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine concerning the appropriation and expenditure of budgetary funds were declared.
Measures to document the criminal scheme were carried out under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office. The investigation is currently continuing, the suspect is resolved about the choice of precautionary measures.
