During the pre-trial investigation, it was established that at the end of 2018, the head of the enterprise, at his own discretion, contrary to the requirements of the Budget Code of Ukraine, concluded contracts with firms to carry out a set of works to repair local public roads for a total amount of almost UAH 29 million. In order to conceal the crime, the said person decided to divide three sections of the road with a length of 118 km into 22 parts. However, the implementation of these works did not meet the directions of the use of budgetary funds. In addition, it turned out that the contracts were concluded without an open tender procedure, and the cost of the work itself was overstated by more than UAH 5.5 million.
Such abuses by the head of the state-owned enterprise caused damage to the state, represented by a state-owned enterprise, in the amount of almost UAH 29 million – that is how much money was unreasonably transferred to the execution of contracts. To date, the actions of the official are qualified on the grounds of a crime under Part 2 of Art. 210 and part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
