Law enforcement officers have served a notice of suspicion to the director of a utility company who signed a contract for the overhaul of Molodizhnyi Park in Kyiv with an inflated cost of materials of more than UAH 614,000.

According to the investigation, in the fall of 2022, the utility company paid for the overhaul of the Molodizhnyi Park in the Desnianskyi district of Kyiv, which included the cost of construction materials at a significantly inflated price.
