In the Uzhgorod city council and the Uzhgorod utility company, a scheme was discovered to steal money from the budget during the renovation of buildings. The Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police reports that local entrepreneurs were also involved in these illegal activities.
To do this, false information about the volume and cost of work was included in the work completion certificates. As a result, the amount of damage caused is almost 700 thousand hryvnia, which is confirmed by expert findings.
Based on the evidence collected, the department head and director of the utility company, as well as the contractor, were informed of the suspicion. Their actions are qualified under Part 4 of Art. 191 (Misappropriation, embezzlement of property or taking possession of it through abuse of official position) and Part 1 of Art. 366 (Official forgery) of the Criminal Code.
Preliminarily, we are talking about the following persons: the director of the Communal Road Maintenance Enterprise, Alexander Teslenko, and the head of the capital construction department, Mikhail Savko, who allegedly artificially inflated the cost of work and construction materials while carrying out repairs.
