According to the investigation, the deputy chief engineer for energy saving and energy supply of the Pavlohrad Mechanical Plant of the State Enterprise "PO Pivdenny Machine-Building Plant named after O.M. Makarov", who organized and carried out the criminal scheme, was served with a notice of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Investigators established that the official, in the interests of one of the limited liability companies, when purchasing goods, set an inflated value for equipment (400kVA, 630kVA, 1000kVA), being reliably aware that their market price was significantly lower.
Abusing her official position, the official determined the company as having offered the lowest price proposal, which became the basis for concluding supply agreements at an inflated price.
As a result of the illegal actions of the suspect, the state suffered property damage in the form of overpaid budget funds amounting to over UAH 968,000. The investigation is ongoing.
