In Mykolaiv region, law enforcement officers served a notice of suspicion to a 59-year-old ex-accountant of a farm from Arbuzyn district. The investigation found that the woman had been systematically misappropriating the company's funds for several years, illegally transferring them to her own account.
This was reported by the Pervomaiskyi District Police Department.
During 2022-2023, the official, having the trust of the farm's management, set up a scheme for her own enrichment. Having access to the director's electronic digital signature (EDS) and financial documents, she secretly generated payrolls. Under the guise of paying salaries, the woman systematically entered inflated amounts for herself, which she later transferred to her own cards.
In total, the ex-accountant managed to misappropriate almost UAH 815 thousand, which caused significant losses to the company. The woman has now been served a notice of suspicion of large-scale fraud committed under martial law. According to the sanction of the article, she faces imprisonment for up to eight years.
Earlier, in Mykolaiv region, a court allowed investigators to access documents and property of two companies as part of an investigation into possible financial mismanagement and the disappearance of goods worth more than UAH 100 million.
The basis for the opening of the proceedings was a statement by the chairman of the liquidation commission of one of the companies, which was received by the Pervomaiskyi Police Department. He said that during an internal audit, a significant shortage of products was found at the production site. The company's production facilities are located in Pervomaisk.
As investigators found out, in February 2025, the company recorded a shortage of goods and serious violations in the accounting system. On the same day, executives of another related company went to the site and confirmed that most of the inventory was missing. Only 81 tons of finished goods remained in the warehouses, mostly in the form of scraps, as well as 31 tons of rolling stock. These data were recorded in the inspection reports and confirmed by photographs.
