Juvenile prosecutors of the Desnyansky District Prosecutor’s Office of Kyiv have charged the director and former accountant of one of the lyceums in the Desnyansky district. They are suspected of illegally embezzling the funds of the educational institution through abuse of office.

The accountant’s average monthly “earnings” exceeded 100 thousand hryvnias. Such operations continued throughout 2021-2025, resulting in the woman receiving more than 10 million hryvnias.

According to the sanction of the article, the punishment is imprisonment for a term of seven to twelve years, as well as a ban on holding certain positions or engaging in certain activities for a term of up to three years, with confiscation of property.
