4.5 million UAH of losses on the implementation of energy-efficient measures in schools and kindergartens of the city Dnipro — seven participants of the OZG will stand trial
The funds were allocated to the state by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
As established by the operatives of the Department of Strategic Investigations in the Dnipropetrovsk region of the National Police together with law enforcement colleagues, seven people are involved in the criminal scheme - managers and owners of commercial structures, in particular, a municipal enterprise.
The participants developed a clear action plan to allocate funds allocated by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The loan funds were intended for the introduction of energy-efficient measures in schools and preschool children's institutions of Dnipro, namely — replacement of windows, roof repair, facade insulation, replacement of heating equipment. However, as law enforcement officials found out, the works were performed at an inflated cost, and the materials did not meet the technical standards specified in the tender documentation. Some materials were even made in a “bush” way at the construction sites. As a result, more than UAH 4.5 million was appropriated. This fact is confirmed by the conclusions of examinations.
In July last year, on the basis of the evidence received, investigators of the SBI Tertiary Department, located in the city. Poltava, informed the organizer and participants of the organized crime group about the suspicion.
On January 4, in agreement with the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, the indictments against seven persons were sent to the Krasnohvardeysk District Court of the city. Dnipropetrovsk.
They incriminate the commission of criminal offenses with a qualifying feature — as part of an organized criminal group:
- Part 3 of Article 28, Part 5 of Article 191 (appropriation, embezzlement of property or possession of it by abuse of official position); - Part 1 of Article 366 (official forgery);
- Part 2 of Article 367 (official negligence) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
The accused may face imprisonment for a term of seven to twelve years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for a term of up to three years and confiscation of property.
