Group of people to be tried for misappropriation of over UAH 300,000 during construction of St George’s Cathedral in Lviv
Prosecutors of the Galician District Prosecutor’s Office in Lviv have sent an indictment to the court against the director of the company and the contractor. They are charged with misappropriation of budgetary funds and forgery of official documents (Part 4 of Article 191, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, the defendants seized the funds during the restoration of the facilities of the nationally significant architectural monument, St George’s Archdiocesan Cathedral in Lviv.
To implement his plan, the director of the contracting company engaged his employee as a contractor.
Subsequently, the men entered false information into official documents. In particular, they overstated the actual volume of construction work performed, as well as the cost of the work performed and the materials used, in the acceptance certificates.
As a result, the business entity unjustifiably received over UAH 300 thousand.
The pre-trial investigation was carried out by investigators of the Lviv District Police Department No. 1 of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Lviv Region.
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.
