More than 96 million hryvnias were intended for the construction of an office and residential complex in Kyiv. The defendants face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Investigators of the Corruption Crime Investigation Department of the Main Investigative Department of the National Police of Ukraine, with the prompt support of the employees of the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police and the procedural leadership of the Office of the Prosecutor General, exposed a group of persons who illegally seized investment funds.
During the pre-trial investigation, the police established that a foreign company invested more than 96 million hryvnias in the construction of an office and residential complex in the Podilskyi district of Kyiv. However, the construction did not begin, and the money was appropriated by several people who promised to carry out the construction of the complex.
On April 23, a number of sanctioned searches were conducted on the territory of Kyiv and Kyiv region. As a result, the documentation on the receipt and subsequent movement of funds that belonged to the investment company, computer equipment and mobile phones were seized.
Pre-trial investigation is carried out under Part 4 of Art. 190 (Fraud) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. For illegal transactions, the defendants face up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
