Ruslan Kravchenko: No one has immunity when it comes to abuse of budgetary funds
28.06.2025
The Attorney General Ruslan Kravchenko, along with the relevant deputy, personally addressed the criminal proceedings against the company "Avtomagistral-Pivden," which is rebuilding and constructing infrastructure facilities with budget funds.
Yesterday, the company made a request regarding a constructive dialogue. According to Ruslan Kravchenko, the materials of the case were thoroughly examined, and all the suspicions announced to date are legal, justified, and supported by the results of conducted forensic examinations.
The Attorney General also reported that he spoke with one of the defenders, who informed him that the company is conducting its own examinations. "We will definitely consider all your evidence. If necessary, we will appoint a comprehensive examination. At the moment, everything in the case indicates an impartial pre-trial investigation," noted Ruslan Kravchenko.
“Also today, I instructed to conduct an audit of all criminal proceedings regarding companies operating in the infrastructure sector. I received initial information: there are also criminal proceedings against other business structures, but for various reasons, the investigation of these cases is being delayed by law enforcement agencies,” he added.
According to him, the prosecutor's office will check all facts related to construction, reconstruction, and infrastructure contracts. And those who steal will be held accountable. Those against whom cases are fabricated will be protected.
“I officially warn, as the Attorney General: no law enforcement agency should turn into a mechanism of pressure or a tool for destroying competitors in business. Likewise, no one has immunity when it comes to the abuse of budget funds. And this is all about justice,” emphasized the Attorney General.
