The investigation established that in September 2024, the accused ordered fake medical records for herself and five educators of the institution via the Internet. None of them, according to the prosecutor's office, underwent a mandatory preventive medical examination.

Further, according to the prosecutor's office, "the director registered the purchased medical records in the register of personal medical records and put them in the personal files of the educators".

"Employees who did not undergo a mandatory medical examination should have been suspended from work, but instead, the director, instead of doing so, on the contrary, helped subordinates with the use of forged documents," the prosecutor's office said.

These facts were established after a two-year-old boy fell from the stairs and suffered serious bodily injuries in this kindergarten last December. Then the educator received a suspicion.
