The prosecutor’s office has charged the director of a company that repaired cable lines in the Kyiv metro. According to the investigation, he used materials of lower quality than specified in the documents, resulting in millions of dollars in losses to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office has filed a complaint against the head of a company that repaired the power supply on the Syretsko-Pechersk metro line. It turned out he had illegally appropriated state funds while working on the metro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the law, he is charged under part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (embezzlement of property by an official using an official position during martial law on a large scale).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the case materials, a contract was concluded between the contracting organization and the municipal enterprise “Kyiv Metro” for the overhaul of cable lines on the Syretsko-Pechersk line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contract stated that the contractor should lay over 1,000 meters of high-voltage cable in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, it turned out that the company director had used domestically produced cable, even though the documents indicated the use of expensive imported material. This led to an artificial overestimation of material costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts confirmed that due to overestimation of costs, the municipal enterprise “Kyiv Metro” overpaid the company by more than 2.7 million hryvnias. This is how much damage was caused to the capital’s budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the incriminating article, the punishment can reach up to 12 years of imprisonment. Restrictions on holding positions or conducting activities for up to 3 years, as well as the confiscation of property, are also possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The construction of a new metro line to Troyeshchyna, which is planned to be included in the projects, can cost the capital 68 billion hryvnias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
