The Economic Security Bureau of Ukraine in the course of conducting information and analytical activities, prevented the embezzlement of UAH 327 million of state funds during the purchase of diesel generators in Dnipro.

Officials of one of the communal enterprises of the Dnipro city council, which is the administrator of budget funds, planned to purchase diesel generator sets at prices inflated by an average of 30%. The total cost of the purchase was UAH 327 million.

ESBU analysts, on the basis of the identified prerequisites for harming the economic security of the state, sent a letter of recommendation to the manager of budget funds. The utility company was recommended to review the expediency of concluding the relevant contract in order to prevent the wastage of funds.

Officials of the utility company refused to allocate funds under the concluded contract. In this way, ESBU analysts predicted probable budget losses in the amount of UAH 327 million.

We will remind you that recently ESBU analysts in the Lviv region anticipated the reimbursement of 78.7 million scheme VAT. More details https://esbu.gov.ua/en/news/analysts-of-the-esbu-in-lviv-region-anticipated-reimbursement-of-787-million-scheme-vat
