This is stated in the court’s verdict, as reported by "Komersant Ukrainian".
The former director was found guilty of committing a criminal offense under Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
He was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in prison. In addition, he was barred from holding positions involving organizational, managerial, administrative, or economic functions for a period of one year, and was fined 8,500 hryvnias.
The verdict may be appealed within 30 days of its pronouncement.
Case Details
During the pre-trial investigation, it was established that the former director, acting without the permission of the Poltava Regional Council and in violation of the enterprise’s charter, entered into an agreement with a private company to provide repayable financial assistance in the amount of 1.89 million hryvnias.
Knowing in advance that the municipal enterprise would be unable to repay these funds, he signed an agreement obligating the enterprise to repay the debt by October 1, 2020, or to transfer real estate to the private company.
The acting director, acting alone and without the owner’s consent, transferred municipal property to the private company.
Six industrial buildings with auxiliary structures, located in Poltava, Kremenchuk, Lubny, and three other settlements in the Poltava region, with a total value of 1,794,874 hryvnias, were transferred to private ownership.
