The Security Service of Ukraine jointly with the NABU dismantled a large-scale corruption scheme involving the leadership of Zaporizhzhia Regional Council.
This was reported by Censor.NET with reference to a telegram from the Security Service of Ukraine.
As a result of complex measures, the deputy chairman of the regional council, his assistant and a local deputy were exposed on the bribe transfer. According to the investigation, the officials tried to bribe the director of a regional medical institution.
As noted, the head of the medical institution was supposed to facilitate the victory of predetermined companies in medical procurement, as well as the execution of financial transactions by the said medical institution in the interests of financial institutions.
Law enforcement officers exposed all three officials of the regional council red-handed, immediately after they transferred the entire amount of the illegal benefit.
Searches are currently underway at the suspects' places of work and residence.
Within the framework of criminal proceedings initiated under Part 4 of Article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (offer, promise or provision of an unlawful benefit to an official), the issue of serving a notice of suspicion to the officials is being resolved.
The investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime. The offenders face up to 10 years in prison with confiscation of property.
