More than a million hryvnias were stolen during the reconstruction of the pedestrian alley on Andreevsky Descent

The police reported the suspicion to the deputy director of the utility company, which caused damage of more than a million hryvnias to the budget of the capital on the reconstruction of the pedestrian alley of Andreevsky Descent.

This is reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

During the pre-trial investigation, the police found that the utility company entered into an agreement with the contractor to perform construction work on the reconstruction of the stairs and the improvement of the adjacent territory within the pedestrian alley of Andreevsky Descent.

The suspect, pursuing the goal of wasting budgetary funds for the purpose of his own enrichment, having reliable information that the cost of building materials was overpriced, signed an act of acceptance of the completed construction work, and the utility company paid construction mothers at inflated prices.

According to the conclusions of judicial merchandising and economic expertise, the amount of damage caused to the territorial community of the city of Kyiv is about UAH 1.4 million.

Investigators informed the defendant about the suspicion of committing a criminal offense.

The official faces imprisonment for a term of seven to twelve years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years and with confiscation of property.

Recall that earlier the employees of the enterprise "Directorate for the construction of road transport facilities of the city of Kyiv" were suspected of embezzlement of funds during the construction of the Podolsky bridge.

According to the investigation, damage to the budget during the theft of funds caused more than 100 million.

One of the suspects turned out to be the director of the municipal enterprise "Directorate for the construction of road transport facilities in Kyiv", the director and chairman of the supervisory board of the general contractor, as well as the head of a private enterprise.

It turned out that the suspects unreasonably overestimated the amount of expenses for the work done and the rental of construction equipment.
