The SBI reported suspicion to the former head of the state enterprise, which appropriated almost 148 thousand dollars

The SBI employees reported suspicion to the ex-director of the state enterprise “Service”, who in 2014 illegally transferred $147.5 thousand to the russian bank account in the territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

It was established that he deliberately opened an account in a russian bank at the beginning of the occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea so that the funds would become inaccessible to the Ukrainian side.

This money was received by the state-owned enterprise from the leasing of two sea vessels.

The official was informed of the suspicion of embezzlement of property due to abuse of his post on a particularly large scale (Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

The sanction of the article provides for a sentence of imprisonment of up to 12 years.

The implementation of a special pre-trial investigation is being considered due to the fact that the suspect is located in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.

Procedural guidance is carried out by the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine.
