Prosecutors of the Kryvyi Rih Northern District Prosecutor's Office have submitted an indictment to the court against the head of a structural unit of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia".

The pre-trial investigation established that the accused misappropriated budget funds allocated for the capital repair project of the railway overpass during the repair of a railway bridge.

The individual inflated the prices for the operation of construction machinery by entering into additional contracts and subsequently signed acts of acceptance of completed works.

The total cost of the capital repair of the overpass amounts to nearly 43 million UAH.

However, the volumes and costs of the works actually performed do not correspond to those specified in the documents. According to the experts' conclusion, the total cost of the works is inflated by 3.2 million UAH.

The actions of the accused are classified under part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. He faces up to twelve years in prison with the deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities, along with the confiscation of property.

The pre-trial investigation was conducted by investigators of the Kryvyi Rih District Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

Note: according to Article 62 of the Constitution of Ukraine, a person is presumed innocent of committing a crime and cannot be subjected to criminal punishment until their guilt is proven in a lawful manner and established by a guilty verdict of the court.
