In 2023, an official of Kyivmedspetstrans Co., Ltd., an accountant and three contractors of private firms seized almost a third of the funds allocated for the purchase of spare parts for the repair of ambulances in the capital. Now, for what they have done, they face up to twelve years of imprisonment with confiscation of property. About this reported the National Police.
The members of the criminal group, whose actions led to millions of losses to the state budget, were exposed by the investigators of the Shevchenkiv police department of the State Police in the city of Kyiv together with SBU employees and under the procedural guidance of the Shevchenkiv District Prosecutor's Office.
It was established that in 2023, a 43-year-old man from Kyiv, being the head of the "Kyivmedspetstrans" JSC, created an organized group with the aim of seizing budget funds allocated for the repair of ambulances, due to the overestimation of the cost of spare parts for them. For this, he falsified official documents, where the cost of spare parts was inflated several times. In the future, he created all the necessary conditions so that only the companies of his accomplices could win the tender purchases.
Therefore, implementing the criminal scheme, the participants in 2023 concluded a number of contracts worth more than 17 million hryvnias, of which more than six million were appropriated.
Investigators of the Shevchenkiv police department informed the organizer and his four accomplices of suspicions under a number of articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
- h 3 Art. 28 – commission of a criminal offense by prior conspiracy by an organized group or criminal organization;
- h 5th century 191 – appropriation, waste of property or taking possession of it by abuse of official position;
- h 3 Art. 358 — forgery of documents, seals, stamps and forms, sale or use of forged documents, seals, stamps;
- h 2 Art. 366 - official forgery.
The criminal investigation is ongoing. According to the sanctions of the incriminated articles, they face up to twelve years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
