Under the procedural leadership of the Drohobytsk District Prosecutor’s Office, the director of the construction company was informed of the suspicion of taking over state funds in particularly large amounts by forging financial and economic documents (Part 5 of Article 191, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, during 2020-2021, the company carried out work on the construction of a road bridge to connect two settlements on the order of the Skhidnytsia settlement council in the Lviv region.
The subcontracting organization performed the works incompletely, with an overestimation of their cost, by forging official financial and economic documents regarding the scope and cost of the works, and submitted them for payment to the customer.
In this way, losses totaling almost UAH 8.5 million were caused to the state.
Pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings is carried out by investigators of the Drohobytsky Regional Police Department of the State Police in the Lviv Region based on the materials of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Lviv Region.
Note: in accordance with Part 1 of 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.
