Director of company goes to jail for misappropriation of UAH 7.5 million during road maintenance
Prosecutors of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor’s Office have sent to court an indictment against a company director. He is charged with misappropriation of property on a large scale and forgery of official documents (Article 191(5), Article 366(1) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The investigation established that in 2021, the state organisation and the company entered into a service procurement agreement. In particular, for the operational maintenance of a number of separate sections of public roads of national importance.
Subsequently, contrary to the contract and design and estimate documentation, the company’s official entered false information into official documents. Namely, in the acts of acceptance of completed construction works and certificates of their cost, the man indicated incorrect actual volumes of work performed at the facilities and their cost, which was partially untrue.
As a result, the business entity received more than UAH 7.5 million without any grounds.
As part of the criminal proceedings, the prosecutors filed a civil lawsuit to compensate for the losses.
The pre-trial investigation was carried out by investigators of the Main Department of the National Police in Lviv region with the operational support of the Strategic Investigations Department in Lviv region of the State Bureau of Investigations.
Note: In accordance with Art. 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 by law and established by a court verdict of guilty.
