It turned out that the scandalous entrepreneur Ihor Hrynkevich was spotted in frauds during the implementation of tenders 15 years ago, but all this time he remained outside the attention of law enforcement officers.
In 2009, Grynkevich's restored the Armenian Cathedral in Lviv, but "abandoned" the community for money, writes "Pro Lviv".
In June 2008, the Lviv City Council held a tender for repair and restoration works, and the Verkhovyna construction company won. The company won a tender from the Lviv City Council for the performance of complex restoration works, without having specialists and not possessing technologies.
In half a year, the organization received almost 2.5 million hryvnias, while at the same time almost no work was done in the cathedral. Real work was limited to one dug trench to strengthen the foundation of the fence of the courtyard of the Armenian Cathedral and screwing in one light bulb.
"In the last few days and nights, an unprecedented looting of the Armenian Cathedral in Lviv has been taking place. Either contractors or subcontractors install the copper roof on the cathedral's bell tower during the day, and at night they themselves steal it, imitating a robbery," Vardkes Arzumanyan, a member of the Lviv City Council, said at the time.
Later, the law enforcement officers said that the company had forged documents. The prosecutor's office of the Halytskyi District has initiated criminal proceedings against Ihor Grynkevich, as the director and founder of Verkhovyna.
Then the enterprise "Verkhovyna Construction Company" was declared bankrupt. On April 15, 2013, the Lviv Appellate Economic Court rejected the complaint of DPI in the Railway District of Lviv and left unchanged the decision of the Economic Court of Lviv Region dated March 19, 2013 on the company's .
The tax officials' complaint was motivated by the fact that they did not conduct an unscheduled on-site inspection of the debtor.
All this did not prevent Ihor Hrynkevich from conducting business. What's more, even receiving orders from the Lviv City Council and collecting money in courts .
