Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko reported the exposure of a corruption scheme involving top officials of the regional road authority.
According to him, officials of the SE "Kyiv Regional Road Administration," which is part of the structure of JSC "Ukravtodor," namely the head of the institution, his deputy, and the commercial director, acted in an organized criminal group.
"They turned state property into a source for their own enrichment. The scheme was simple – officials rented out warehouses, premises, and other state objects to private businessmen at undervalued prices or even without contracts and official payments. In return, they demanded and received the difference between the actual cost of using the property and the paid amounts from entrepreneurs in cash," said Ruslan Kravchenko.
The Attorney General emphasized that 12 instances of money transfers were documented when the head of the commercial department of the state enterprise received over 270 thousand UAH from entrepreneurs for using property without contracts.
"Part of the money amounting to over 217 thousand UAH was transferred to the higher management.
The next tranche of almost 60 thousand UAH was received by the officials yesterday," he said.
The officials were detained. Currently, the members of the criminal group have been notified of suspicion under Part 3 of Article 28 and Part 3 of Article 368 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
During searches, cash in various currencies totaling nearly 600 thousand UAH was seized, as well as mobile phones, laptops, electronic data carriers, accounting documents, and rough notes of the scheme participants.
In addition, four representatives of business entities have been notified of suspicion. The issue of choosing a preventive measure is being decided.
