They stole budget funds for the construction of the metro: law enforcement officers conducted searches of suspects
The capital's law enforcement officers conducted searches in office premises and at the addresses of persons likely to be involved in the crime in case of theft of budget funds.
As a result, documentation and other material evidence was seized.
The police found that officials of one of the joint-stock companies concluded contracts with local metropolitan authorities on the provision of metro construction services to Vinogradar.
However, the works were not carried out in full, and the money allocated for the construction of the Syretsk-Pechersk metro line from the station “Syrets” to the residential complex “Vinogradar” was appropriated from the state budget.
Criminal proceedings have been initiated under Part 4 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - appropriation, squandering of property or possession of it by abuse of official position. The sex sanction provides for imprisonment for a term of five to eight years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years.
