Under the procedural guidance of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office, the director of the construction company was informed of suspicion of fraud (part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
According to the investigation, the suspect developed and implemented a fraudulent scheme to acquire particularly large amounts of money.
The figure, being the director of the construction company, carried out a fictitious sale of property rights for 13 apartments. For this purpose, he entered into forged sales contracts with the same number of victims, which indicated that the real estate would be built in the future within a certain time frame. A multi-storey building was supposed to be built in one of the villages of the Pustomyt district.
According to the contract, the victims paid in cash part or all of the cost of housing. The suspect, in turn, provided a certificate of payment and undertook to transfer the funds to the company’s account. However, he did not do this, but disposed of them at his own discretion.
In this way, the man took over UAH 11 million.
The pre-trial investigation is carried out by the investigators of the Main Department of the National Police in the Lviv Region.
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.
