Details
Specialists found that the head of one of Kharkiv's temporary detention centers entered into an agreement with six subordinates, allowing them to receive salaries without actually performing work. In return for this illegal agreement, the subordinates had to give half of their salaries to the head.
This fraud lasted for two years, during which the "employees" were officially on the payroll but did not actually perform their duties. The defendants were engaged in their personal affairs without going to work. One of them even worked as a taxi driver.
The money that was unjustifiably paid was sent to the accounts of the ex-boss's wife or given to him personally in cash. The total amount of such transactions is over UAH 2 million.
All those involved in the scheme have now been dismissed.
