У Києві Нацполіція викрила приватного підприємця

According to the investigation, in December 2022, the "Obolon District Road Maintenance Department" enterprise entered into a contract with an entrepreneur for the supply of rock salt worth about UAH 10 million. However, the entrepreneur entered false data into official documents and indicated that the salt had been delivered to the utility company, when in fact the technical salt was delivered only on paper.

As noted, thanks to the forged documents, the company received funds from the local budget, which were withdrawn from circulation.

Following the investigation, investigators served the LLC director with a notice of suspicion under Part 5 of Article 191 (misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of office) and Part 2 of Article 366 (Forgery in office) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The sanction of these articles provides for up to 12 years in prison.

Investigators are currently checking the possible involvement of other persons in this scheme.
