The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office has notified six members of a criminal organization of suspicion. These individuals were engaged in systematically receiving illegal benefits from contracting companies. The investigation revealed that the head of KO "Kyivzelenbud" and his first deputy systematically received illegal benefits from business entities with whom contracts for work were concluded.

The suspects involved the deputy head of the municipal enterprise's department in this scheme. According to the perpetrators' plan, contractors were supposed to pay so-called "kickbacks" in the amount of 15% of the amount transferred to them for signing the acceptance certificates of completed works.

The prosecutor's office added that the volume and quality of these works were not checked by anyone. During the pre-trial investigation, only in February 2025, five cases of receiving more than three million hryvnias from entrepreneurs were documented. In total, the defendants in the case planned to earn 25 million hryvnias from this scheme.

During the investigation, law enforcement officers seized documentation, electronic equipment, as well as part of the money collected by officials of KO "Kyivzelenbud". Currently, the general director, his first deputy, and the deputy head of one of the departments have been detained.
