Details
It is established that in the period 2012-2017, the Kyiv Metro, using funds provided under a loan agreement with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, entered into agreements with two Russian joint-stock companies for the production and supply of subway cars.
These agreements provide for penalties for violation of the terms of delivery of the cars. Reportedly, in 2013-2014, the suppliers violated the terms of the contract and failed to deliver the cars to Kyiv Metro within the specified timeframe.
However, the suspect, due to improper performance of his official duties, approved payment orders for payment for the cars in full without deducting the amount of the fine, causing the utility company losses of UAH 13.1 million
The issue of choosing a preventive measure against the suspect is currently being decided. The investigation is ongoing.
