Officials Suspected of Fraud in Street Lighting Repairs
Investigators from the capital's National Police Department are conducting searches at the municipal enterprise "Kyivmisksvitlo."
This is reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA).
“The investigative actions are being carried out within the framework of a criminal proceeding regarding the possible involvement of officials from the municipal enterprise in exceeding expenses for capital repairs of external lighting networks during the period of 2023–2024. We emphasize that this is currently only a pre-trial investigation aimed at identifying and documenting potential violations,” the statement reads.
The KCSA asserts that all tender procedures for repairs were conducted in accordance with the law, and budget payments were made solely based on completed work acts.
For their part, "Kyivmisksvitlo" claims that some contracts for 2024 are still ongoing, thus the searches involving the seizure of original documents for this period hinder the enterprise's operations.
