Five people have been detained in Kyiv on suspicion of jointly embezzling budget funds on a large scale. At the initiative of the Solomyansky District Prosecutor's Office, the investigation revealed that the management of Kyivmisksvitlo and the contractor entered into large-scale contracts for the overhaul of buildings owned by the utility in 2021. According to the conclusions of the forensic examination, the actual cost of the work differs significantly from the declared one, which caused losses of about UAH 1.4 million.

The actions of the management revealed signs of a preliminary conspiracy, which led to the submission of false information in the documentation on the cost of materials and works. The suspects have been served a notice of suspicion and the process of determining a measure of restraint has been initiated. Investigative actions are ongoing within the framework of criminal proceedings conducted jointly by the Prosecutor's Office and law enforcement agencies of Kyiv.
