In Dnepr, the founder of the conversion center Sergei Smirny advises city hall contractors

In Dnepr, the husband of the former director of the Information Systems Enterprise of the city council, Ekaterina Smirna, who was involved in a money laundering case, organized a consulting company in the field of accounting services and public procurement.

Sergey Smirny has extensive experience in consulting on procurement for municipal and state authorities. The company's website states that he has been doing this since 2018. Law enforcement officers were already interested in this husband’s experience when his wife suddenly became head of an important enterprise of the City Council, where 98 million hryvnia disappeared. Smirny himself, according to investigators, was the organizer of the conversion center through which Dnipro residents’ money was transferred.

After publicity, one of the participants in the scheme was sentenced to a fine. Smirny and his wife were able to escape punishment due to the negligence of law enforcement officers. He employed his wife Ekaterina in his company.

Also, on this fact, the prosecutor's office of the Dnepropetrovsk region entered information into the Unified Register of Pre-trial Investigations No. 42020040000000656 under Part 5 of Art. 191 CC. Later it was merged with No. 62019170000000315. The court decided to extend the pre-trial investigation period for six months, starting from October 26, 2022, without taking into account the period from the date of introduction of martial law in Ukraine to the date of termination or lifting of martial law.
