Recall

Earlier, KP "Informatyka" had already attracted the attention of law enforcement officers. In particular, the police and prosecutor's office reported that an official of the enterprise was exposed for unauthorized dissemination of restricted access information from the "Safe City" system database, which "Informatyka" administers.

In addition, the Bureau of Economic Security (BES) investigated facts of possible embezzlement and misappropriation of budget funds by officials of KP "Informatyka" and a number of companies that supplied it with various equipment and software.

This refers to damages caused to the city budget amounting to up to 21 million hryvnias. In particular, BES detectives are convinced that the capital's budget could have lost about 12.7 million as a result of "Informatyka's" cooperation with LLC "Ukrainian Infosystems".
