The Bureau of Economic Security has exposed a criminal scheme to embezzle budget funds allocated for the construction of military engineering and fortification facilities in the Zaporizhia region. About this reported the BEB press service.
According to the investigation, officials of the Melitopol District State Administration, in collusion with representatives of a number of private enterprises, overestimated the cost of materials and equipment during the construction of fortifications. At the same time, they entered unreliable information into the estimate and reporting documentation.
Thus, according to BEB, the defendants seized more than UAH 6,47 million in budget funds.
Law enforcement officers conducted 11 searches at the places of work and residence of the suspects and seized financial and business documentation, computer equipment, mobile phones, company seals, and other evidence.
Detectives have now reported the suspicion to two participants in the scheme. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
