On Friday, July 25, police and Security Service of Ukraine officers searched the administrative buildings of the Lviv City Council. This was reported on Telegram by journalist Taras Seredych, according to UNN.
Details
As Seredych noted, the searches concern criminal proceedings regarding the embezzlement of budget funds allocated for the restoration of houses damaged by Russian shelling. This refers to repairs of houses on Stryiska Street, where the contractor was the LKP "Rembud" enterprise.
The total amount of funds that could have been stolen during the repair is almost 2 million hryvnias. The following are under suspicion:
- Oleh Polishchuk, director of LKP "Rembud";
- former acting head of the Frankivsk district administration Oksana Strumelyak;
- Halyna Hladik, head of the Halytskyi district administration.
The Lviv City Council reacted to this event. They stated that they do not see abuses on the part of the named individuals, but "respect the work of law enforcement agencies and will fully assist in an objective investigation."
Recall
Earlier, UNN reported that the Odesa prosecutor's office uncovered systemic abuses by officials that led to budget losses of UAH 6.3 million and environmental damage of almost UAH 200 million.
