The essence of the scheme, according to Kravchenko, is simple and cynical.
In 2022, immediately after the de-occupation of Kyiv region, the state allocated funds for food, essential goods, and generators for people in destroyed communities. For those who had just survived occupation, loss of home, and months of fear. The suspects submitted letters to the Ministry of Social Policy expressing their readiness to provide humanitarian aid. After receiving budget funds, they did not provide real assistance — the money was withdrawn to the accounts of shell companies that allegedly supplied products, heat, and necessary items. To conceal the embezzlement, fake reports of allegedly purchased and delivered goods were sent to the ministry.
– he added.
The Prosecutor General emphasized that the money that was supposed to go to food and warmth for people who had lost everything ended up in the pockets of fraudsters.
This is not just a criminal offense. This is looting. We continue to work.
