The Shevchenkivsky District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv reported the suspicion of the official of the state innovative financial and credit institution in the case of waste of property in particularly large amounts (Part 4 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the pre -trial investigation, it is about the acting chairman of the board of the institution, who, in violation of government standards, illegally approved the payment of wages to employees who were outside Ukraine.
According to the current government resolution, civil servants may receive a salary during being abroad only in case of official business trip. In other cases, their working hours are not accounted for, and accordingly, remuneration must be stopped.
However, despite these requirements, in the period from June 2022 to March 2024, three employees who were not on a business trip regularly acted. The total amount of payments amounted to more than UAH 2.2 million, of which a single social contribution (ESA) was also paid. These actions, according to the investigation, caused the state institution for the entire amount.
The prosecutor's office is currently conducting further investigative actions in order to establish all the circumstances of the offense, and to check whether there have been such illegal accruals systemic in other state institutions.
The sanction of the article under which the suspicion has been imprisoned provides for imprisonment for up to 12 years with confiscation of property.
