Under the procedural supervision of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, the former deputy director of a state-owned coal enterprise was served a notice of suspicion of gross negligence that caused grave consequences (Part 2 of Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, in 2023, the company and the business entity entered into a contract for the purchase of diesel fuel with delivery for the needs of the mine in the amount of more than UAH 3 million.
However, the suspect, being an authorized person, improperly performed his official duties. In particular, before entering into the contract, he failed to conduct a price study of the market value of the fuel. He also ignored the fact that the supplier’s price offer was uncompetitive and overpriced and did not initiate the issue of contract termination.
As a result, the state-owned enterprise suffered losses of almost UAH 390 thousand.
Investigative actions are ongoing, and the issue of choosing a measure of restraint against the suspect is being decided.
The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Investigation Department of the Main Department of the National Police of Ukraine in Lviv region, with operational support provided by the Strategic Investigations Department in Lviv region of the State Investigation Department of the National Police of Ukraine.
Note: In accordance with Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and shall not be subjected to criminal punishment until his or her guilt is proved in accordance with the law and established by a court verdict of guilty.
