In some criminal proceedings, we are not talking about direct damage to the capital’s budget, said the prosecutor of Kiev.
The prosecutor’s office of Kiev notified nine former and current employees of municipal enterprises of the capital about the suspicion of embezzlement of budget funds. In cases in which suspicions have already been brought, the damage to the budget exceeds 43 million hryvnias. This was stated by the prosecutor of Kiev Oleg Kiper in an interview for Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday, May 18th.
“According to the results of searches in the office of KP Spetszhitlofond, three persons were reported suspicious – the deputy director of a utility company, a former deputy of the same enterprise, as well as the director of a contracting company. They are suspected of embezzling UAH 10.5 million, which were allocated from the city budget for construction and reconstruction engineering networks, “- said the prosecutor.
In this context, he continued: “Seven persons were reported on suspicion of embezzlement in the department of social policy of the Kyiv City State Administration. Among the suspects are three current officials of the said department, including the deputy head, as well as four former employees, whose actions caused damage to 13, 5 million hryvnia in the procurement of medical supplies. “
Another suspicion, according to Kiper, concerns tax evasion for the use of communal land.
“The suspicion was reported to the director of a private company, whose actions inflicted damage to the capital’s budget in the amount of UAH 19.5 million,” the capital’s prosecutor added.
Answering the question about the amount of damage in question in the aggregate of all investigated cases of embezzlement of the budget, Kiper said: “For those industries in which the suspicion has already been reported, we are talking about damage of more than 43 million hryvnias. production is many times more “.
The prosecutor clarified that in some criminal proceedings it is not about direct damage to the capital’s budget, but about abuses by officials in the issuance of permits, as well as illegal extortions from entrepreneurs.
The prosecutor added that the investigative actions in these proceedings are still ongoing.
Recall searches continue in Kiev for the second week in utilities. The day before, the security forces searched the Zhitloinvestbud-UKB KP and the Kiev City Bureau of Technical Inventory.
