The Kyiv City Prosecutor's Office has announced charges against the head of the Kyiv City Council's executive body and the former head of the municipal enterprise "ATP KMDA".

Their actions have been classified under part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, specifically as misappropriation of property through abuse of office, committed by a group of individuals in collusion, on a large scale.

It has been established that the suspects ordered and paid for facade renovations and other repair works in an office building on Borys Hrinchenko Street in Kyiv, which has already been removed from municipal ownership and belongs to private individuals.

In total, the suspects spent nearly 1.3 million hryvnias on repairs. However, the municipal enterprise lacks any rental agreements for the renovated premises, meaning that public funds were effectively used for work on a private building.

The issue of choosing preventive measures for the suspects is currently being resolved.

The sanctions of the article foresee imprisonment for up to twelve years, with deprivation of the right to hold certain positions or engage in certain activities for up to three years, along with property confiscation.

Pleadings have been prepared for the court regarding the selection of preventive measures in the form of detention with the possibility of bail equivalent to the amount of damages caused.
