Allegations of Embezzlement at Kyivmedspetstrans

The deputy director of the municipal association "Kyivmedspetstrans" is under suspicion for allegedly embezzling nearly 2 million UAH. This was reported by the press service of the Kyiv city prosecutor's office.
"Under the supervision of the Shevchenkivskyi District Prosecutor's Office of Kyiv, the deputy director of the municipal association «Kyivmedspetstrans» has been charged with misappropriation of funds allocated for the purchase of spare parts for ambulances," the statement reads.
It is suspected that during a tender involving controlled companies, officials of "Kyivmedspetstrans" ensured the victory of a desired firm, signing a contract worth 5.4 million UAH. Subsequently, the winner supplied the parts at inflated prices.
Expert evaluations revealed that the price inflation amounted to over 1.9 million UAH. Thus, the deputy director, who signed the contracts, has been charged under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine for the misappropriation of budget funds by a group of persons under prior conspiracy.
Previously, similar charges were brought against the head of the material and technical support service of "Kyivmedspetstrans", who organized the procurement.
The penalties under these articles provide for up to 12 years of imprisonment, with a prohibition from holding certain positions or engaging in specific activities for up to three years, along with the confiscation of property. Currently, a pre-trial investigation is ongoing to identify those involved in the scheme.
