City Council Secretary and Contractor Father: Half a Billion from the Budget

Vyacheslav Mishalov is a Dnipro entrepreneur who served as the secretary of the Dnipro City Council in 2016–2017 (from the "Samopomich" party). His tenure cost taxpayers at least half a billion hryvnias: firms connected to his father, Dmytro Mishalov—co-founder of "Master-Bud"—received exactly that amount in contracts for repair works. In 2017, he was expelled from "Samopomich" due to corruption activities.

At that time, "Concord Bank," owned by Sosedka, opened a credit line to finance this project. Police are investigating the embezzlement of UAH 35 million.
