Under the procedural guidance of the prosecutors of the Yavoriv District Prosecutor’s Office, the pre-trial investigation was completed and an indictment was sent to the court against the 50-year-old former head of one of the village councils of the Yavoriv region on the facts of embezzlement of budget funds and official forgery (Part 4 of Article 191, Part 2 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine ).
The investigation established that the man, while serving as the head of the village council, concluded a contract with one of the Lviv enterprises for the construction of a sewage network in the village.
Later, knowing for a fact that the contractor did not install the equipment specified in the contract, the accused signed the acts of the completed works, in which it was noted about their installation. On the basis of these documents, over a quarter of a million hryvnias were unjustifiably transferred from the local budget to the contracting organization.
At the prosecutor’s request, the court decision imposed an arrest on the defendant’s property, namely, the land plot.
The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings was carried out by the investigators of the Yavorivsky RVP of the State Government of the NP 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.
