The Beryslav District Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against the head of a company from Dnipropetrovs'k region. He is accused of forgery in office and misappropriation of budget funds under martial law.

According to the Kherson Regional Prosecutor's Office, according to the investigation, the company headed by the accused entered into a contract with the village council for the overhaul of a building damaged by the war. The facility is located in the Vysokopilska community of Beryslav district.

Upon completion of the work, the contractor submitted an official certificate of completion in which he provided false information. This allowed him to receive more than UAH 300 thousand from the budget for the actual work not performed.

The investigation was conducted by law enforcement officers of the Beryslav District Police Department. The case will now be considered by the court, which will determine the suspect's liability.

Recently, the local authorities in Kherson signed four contracts for the maintenance of the simplest shelters for collective protection of the population. The total amount of the contracts is almost 10 million hryvnias, and all contracts were given to one company from Kyiv region - Clarus LLC.

Intent has already written that in Velyka Oleksandrivka, Kherson region, the construction of a shelter in a local school was ordered without a tender. The contract worth more than UAH 150 million will be awarded to a Kyiv-based company whose director is involved in a criminal case of embezzlement of budget funds, and whose father has a criminal record for treason.
