It is noted that during the investigation, it was found that the official, in the interests of one of the limited liability companies, when conducting the procurement of goods, inflated the cost of transformers (400kVA, 630kVA, 1000kVA), knowing for sure that their market price was significantly lower.
Also, abusing her official position, she determined the Company as having offered the lowest price proposal, which served as the basis for concluding supply agreements at an inflated price. As a result of the suspect's illegal actions, the state suffered property damage in the form of overpaid budget funds totaling over UAH 968 thousand.
