Prosecutors of the Office of the Attorney General have submitted an indictment to the court against the former director of a state enterprise for multiple instances of embezzlement of funds through abuse of office under martial law (Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The head of the state enterprise, which is part of the state reserve system of Ukraine and is one of the largest industrial refrigerators in the country, established a scheme for the embezzlement of the property of this enterprise. He transferred funds to the accounts of fictitious companies for the alleged purchase of goods and services that were, in fact, not delivered or provided.

As a result of the illegal actions, the state enterprise suffered losses amounting to over 13.9 million UAH, as confirmed by relevant expert examinations.

The pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceedings was conducted by detectives of the Main Detective Unit of the Bureau of Economic Security 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.
