Billion-scale embezzlement in reconstruction and shelters: proceedings opened against Mayor Terekhov’s circle
✅Our latest victory. #НАБУ submitted information to the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations and initiated a pre-trial investigation under No. 52026000000000430 on signs of a criminal offense provided for in part 4 of art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine for the following facts.
Kharkiv Mayor Ihor #Терехов, together with subordinate top officials of the city council and a pool of controlled companies, organized ❗ systematic embezzlement of budget funds in contracts for the construction of shelters, the restoration of housing and infrastructure under martial law.
The managerial leadership of Kharkiv City Council created an unlawful mechanism to monopolize public procurement. Mayor Ihor Terekhov, his first deputy Oleksandr #Новак, Director of the Budget and Finance Department Tetiana #Таукешева, as well as Kostiantyn #Лиска and Stanislav #Саріогло ensured the unhindered distribution of hundreds of millions of hryvnias in favor of preselected favorites.
📌 Tender documentation was shaped with artificial discriminatory barriers — from excessive requirements for long-term equipment leasing to inflated financial revenue thresholds (at least 90% of the tender amount in the previous year). This completely excluded outside participants.
The main beneficiaries of the multi-million contracts were JSC “TREST #ЖИТЛОБУД-1”, PE “BF «#ПРОМТЕКС” and LLC “SBK #САРГОН”. The signed contracts show colossal price inflation for construction materials, which exceeds the region’s average market indicators by 20–50%. 🤷♂️ In particular, C25/30 and B25 M350 concrete was priced at over 6 000–6 187 UAH/m3 versus a market cost of about 4 000–4 800 UAH, reinforcement steel A-III — over 43 700 UAH/t compared to 33 000–35 000 UAH.
The scale is striking – a contract for 💰 244,69 million UAH for investment programs in education went to Zhitlobud-1, construction of a radiation-protection shelter for Lyceum No.51 at 209,9 million UAH was awarded to PE “BF «PROMTEKS»” with authorized capital of only 50 thousand UAH, and emergency restoration of the building on Kharkiv Embankment Street for 20,68 million UAH was assigned to “SBK SARGON.”
At our request, law enforcement agencies must verify the stated facts for the commission of criminal offenses provided for in part 5 of art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (appropriation, embezzlement of property or taking possession of it by abusing official position), part 3 of art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (legalization (laundering) of proceeds obtained by criminal means), part 3 of art. 212 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (tax evasion), part 1 of art. 255 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (creation, leadership of a criminal community or criminal organization).
We will continue to keep the investigation under strict public scrutiny and will demand a full audit of every contract. No mayor, department official, or front company contractor will hide from the law behind office walls.
