Prosecutors have notified a deputy of the Mizhhirya District Council, who is involved in a case concerning the embezzlement of over UAH 8.4 million allocated for the repair of the state road R-21 "Dolyna - Khust", of suspicion. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General, writes UNN.
Details
According to the investigation, the suspect worked as a technical supervision engineer and was responsible for controlling the works. He signed 14 acceptance acts with false information, which allowed the contractor to receive payment for unperformed works.
The deputy is charged with improper performance by an official of their official duties due to negligent attitude towards them, which caused grave consequences to the legally protected interests of the state (Part 2, Article 367 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). The issue of choosing a preventive measure for the suspect is currently being decided. The prosecutor's office will petition for his house arrest.

Separately, an indictment has already been sent to court regarding the former director of the contracting organization, who is also involved in the scheme.
