Lawyers from the Svoi Lyudy project (Bihus.Info) and journalists from Hrechka secured the opening of a criminal case over possible embezzlement of public funds in the renovation of the D zvinochok kindergarten in the Kirovohrad region.
This was reported by the Oleksandriia district police department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kirovohrad region in response to an appeal from the Svoi Lyudy project lawyers (Bihus.Info).
Previously, Hrechka journalists found that the Novostarodubskyi D zvinochok kindergarten would be renovated again for the umpteenth time in recent years. The work, costing 6,88 million UAH, was to be carried out by individual entrepreneur Olena Shugurova.
While checking the estimate provided by Shugurova, Hrechka journalists discovered inflated prices for a number of materials. By their calculations, the kindergarten may have overpaid by about 250 thousand hryvnias.
After the article was published, lawyers from the Svoi Lyudy project (Bihus.Info) filed a report with law enforcement. The Kirovohrad region police opened a criminal proceeding under Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine – misappropriation or embezzlement of someone else’s property entrusted to a person or under their care. The investigation is ongoing.
