Losses of over UAH 900,000 – director of company to be tried in Lviv for misappropriation of community funds
Prosecutors of the Halych District Prosecutor’s Office in Lviv have sent to court an indictment against the director of a company. He is charged with misappropriation of another’s property by abuse of office and issuing knowingly false official documents (Part 4 of Article 191, Part 2 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The investigation established that one of the municipal enterprises of Lviv and the company entered into contracts for the supply, installation and adjustment of a comprehensive microclimate system. According to the contract, the company was to ensure the operation of the air conditioning system in a part of the utility company’s premises in the city centre.
