Bureau of Economic Security referred to court the case of the theft of 2.3 million UAH during the repair of the berth in the port of Chornomorsk

Bureau of Economic Security has sent a case to court about the misappropriation of state funds during the repair of a berth in the port of Chornomorsk.

Bureau of Economic Security reported that they had completed the pre-trial investigation and sent an indictment to court against an official of the USPA and the management of a construction company.

The investigation established that the USPA and a company specializing in the repair of port infrastructure entered into a contract for the reconstruction of a berth in the port of Chornomorsk.

After the work was completed, the contractor submitted for signature certificates of work performed with several times the cost of the materials used. USPA officials, in collusion with company representatives, signed them, which led to the misappropriation of state enterprise funds in the amount of almost 2.3 million UAH.

To ensure compensation for losses, the court imposed an arrest on six residential and non-residential real estate objects of the defendants.

Based on the collected evidence, suspicion was declared against an official of the USPA under Part 5 of Article 27, Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (embezzlement, embezzlement of property or seizure thereof by abuse of official position), as well as against the founder of the construction company under Part 3 of Article 27, Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (embezzlement, embezzlement of property or seizure thereof by abuse of official position).

In addition, suspicion was declared against her son, who performed the duties of the director, under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (embezzlement, embezzlement of property or seizure thereof by abuse of official position), Part 1 of Article 366 (official forgery), Part 4 of Article 358 (forgery of documents, seals, stamps and forms, sale or use of forged documents, seals, stamps).

The indictment was sent to court.

Earlier, USM reported that the Bureau of Economic Security blocked an attempt to export $2 million worth of “black grain” through the Pivdennyi port.
