In the Kharkiv region, an official was informed of the suspicion of the seizure of budget funds on an especially large scale, as well as the preparation and issuance of deliberately false official documents (part. 5 st. 191, h. 1 st. 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), reported the press service of the Kharkiv region prosecutor's office. According to the ministry, in 2018 between the department of the regional state administration and the enterprise, an agreement was concluded for almost 11 million UAH for the implementation of routine repairs of the Zmiev - Taranovka highway in the Kharkiv region.. Under the specified agreement, payments were made in full. It was found that the volume and cost of the work that were entered by the contractor into the acts do not correspond to the actual. The enterprise did not carry out work at all on the device of a leveling layer of coarse-grained asphalt concrete mixture, a leveling layer of crushed stone-sand mixture.

The difference between the cost of actually performed work and the cost of work included in the acts is almost UAH 8 million. During searches, accounting, technical, tender and other documentation was seized. The maximum sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of seven to 12 years with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years and with confiscation of property.
