Prosecutors of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in the Defense Sector of the Eastern Region have submitted materials to the court accusing the director of one of the communal enterprises of the Dnipro City Council of embezzling budget funds in particularly large amounts (part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

In 2024, the head of the enterprise, responsible for implementing the city program to support territorial defense, failed to ensure proper and justified price formation during the procurement of 33 ATVs for the needs of military units. This led to the purchase of equipment at an inflated price of 4.4 million hryvnias compared to the market value.

The pre-trial investigation was conducted by the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine with operational support from the Cybercrime Prevention Department in the Dnipropetrovsk region of the National Police of Ukraine.

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 court verdict.
