Artificial overestimation of the cost of works and materials were established by tax officials during a survey of financial and economic activities of one business entity that carried out the road construction and repair works at the budget’s expense.

Employees of the Anti-money laundering department of Main Directorate of the STS in Khmelnytsky region detected registration of the purchase of inventory and services from contractors with fictitiousness signs and withdrawal of budgetary funds to the shadow turnover.

Due to this scheme, the contractor’s officials entered inaccurate information into the acts of performed works, unreasonably increasing costs by more than 22 million UAH.

Currently, investigative actions are ongoing within a pre-trial investigation in the criminal proceeding under Part 5 Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
