Under the procedural guidance of the Chervonograd District Prosecutor’s Office, the former head of one of the village councils of the district and the director of the company were notified of suspicion of embezzlement of budget funds and official forgery (Part 4 of Article 191, Part 2 of Article 28 – Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). .
According to the investigation, at the end of 2018, a contract on construction work was concluded between one of the village councils of the Lviv region and the company headed by the suspect.
According to the terms of the contract, the company had to build a kindergarten-nursery and carry out a number of works.
Later, in order to seize budget funds, the contractor provided a forged certificate of completed works. In it, he indicated the work that he had not completed in full. In particular, children’s slides and benches are not installed, the territory is not organized, lighting is not installed, etc.
In turn, the head of the village accepted and illegally signed a knowingly false act of completed works.
Thus, more than UAH 360,000 was unjustifiably transferred from the state budget to the business entity for works that were not actually performed.
Currently, the question of the suspect’s choice of preventive measures in the form of detention is being resolved.
Investigations are ongoing.
The pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings is carried out by investigators of the Chervonograd District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Lviv Region, under the operational support of the Strategic Investigations Department in the Lviv Region of the SSR of the National Police of Ukraine.
Note: in accordance with Art. 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is considered innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until his guilt is proven in a legal manner and established by a court verdict.
