Bureau specialists analyzed the purchases of similar medical equipment and found that the purchase price had doubled.
Detectives from the territorial administration of the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB) in the Kyiv region are investigating criminal proceedings regarding the misuse and embezzlement of budget funds for the purchase of a tomograph for the regional clinic of oncology. The BEB press service reported this on Thursday, November 23.
In the spring of this year, the municipal institution of the Kyiv Regional Council, the Special Medical Supply Base, announced a tender for the purchase of a SPECT tomograph for the regional dispensary. The cost of the device is 44.5 million UAH.
At the request of the oncology clinic, the regional administration provided UAH 20 million of partial funding for the purchase of a tomograph as part of the implementation of the Kyiv Region Health program for 2021-2023.
Bureau specialists analyzed the purchases of similar medical equipment by other customers and found that the purchase price almost doubled.
Thanks to the measures taken, Kiev OVA removed the allocation of 20 million UAH for the purchase of a computed tomograph for the oncology center.
“In general, since the beginning of the year, employees of the territorial administration of the BEB in the Kiev region recognized the risks during tender purchases and prevented the waste of 173.8 million hryvnias,” said Maxim Kuterga , head of the technical department of the BEB in the Kiev region.
Pre-trial investigation under the article Misuse, embezzlement or possession of another person’s property by an official abusing his official position (Part 3 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) continues.
We remind you that law enforcement officials have exposed a large-scale criminal scheme in which the leadership of the State Special Communications Service is involved. The former head of the State Service for Special Communications, Yuriy Shchigol, and his deputy, Viktor Zhor, are suspected of illegally seizing state funds worth more than 62 million hryvnias.
As is known, the “servant” Andrei Odarchenko offered $50 thousand in cryptocurrency to the head of the State Agency for Reconstruction and Infrastructure Development, Mustafi Nayem.
