December 20, 2023On the morning of December 20th, law enforcement agencies conducted searches in the Uzhhorod City Council.
This information reported by local journalist Vitaliy Hlahola.
“According to my sources in law enforcement agencies, searches began this morning as part of a criminal investigation involving some officials of the Uzhhorod City Council,” the message stated.
These searches were carried out at the Department of Urban Infrastructure, the communal road maintenance enterprise, and the department responsible for major construction projects.
The Security Service of Ukraine reported that officials are suspected of misappropriating 700,000 hryvnias of budget funds allocated for the capital repairs of municipal facilities within the city council.
“During the renovation of buildings and facilities of the communal enterprise, as well as in the procurement of materials, city council officials colluded with companies under their control, contractors, and misappropriated a portion of the budget funds by inflating the cost of work and construction materials,” said Vanda Mylo, a representative of the regional SBU.
The head of one of the departments of the Department of Urban Infrastructure, the director of the communal enterprise, and the director of the contracting company have been notified of suspicion.
Recall that in November, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted searches in the office of Uzhhorod Mayor Bohdan Andriyiv and the city council. These searches are linked to the illegal departure abroad of certain deputies and municipal officials.
