Under the procedural guidance of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Prosecutor's Office, a suspicion has been announced against the head of a state enterprise and the director of a limited liability company for the facts of embezzlement of budget funds and official forgery.

Their actions have been qualified under part 5 of article 191 and part 1 of article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

According to the investigation, in 2022, the suspects developed a criminal scheme for the embezzlement of budget funds.

Thus, a contract for the purchase of electricity was concluded between the state enterprise and the company, which clearly specified the price and planned supply volume.

Subsequently, changes were repeatedly made to the contract by concluding additional agreements, in which the cost of electricity was unjustifiably increased and signed by an official of the state enterprise.

As a result of the illegal actions, an excess of 2.4 million UAH of budget funds was transferred to the company's account.

Currently, the issue of choosing a preventive measure for them is being resolved.

The pre-trial investigation is being conducted by investigators of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region with operational support from the Cybercrime Prevention Department of the Cyber Police Department 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 guilty verdict of the court.
