The Left Bank District Prosecutor's Office of the city of Dnipro has sent an indictment to the court against the deputy head of one of the departments of the regional branch of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" and the director of the company for the facts of embezzlement of budget funds and official forgery (Part 5 of Article 191, Part 1 of Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The investigation established that the official of Ukrzaliznytsia, in collusion with the director of the company, organized a scheme for embezzling funds allocated for the development of regulatory documentation on forest management and the registration of title documents for land plots.

The controlled company was declared the winner of public procurement, after which a contract was concluded between it and the branch of Ukrzaliznytsia. Subsequently, the accused signed acts of acceptance of completed works, despite the actual non-fulfillment of obligations.

Based on forged documents, over 6.7 million UAH of budget funds were illegally transferred to the contractor.

The pre-trial investigation was conducted by investigators of the Dnipro District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Dnipropetrovsk Region, with operational support from the Department of Strategic Investigations of the National Police of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk Region.
