NABU commented on the investigation into the head of the State Financial Monitoring Service – media

NABU continues its pre-trial investigation into the case of possible embezzlement of funds during the construction of fortifications in the Donetsk region, in which the head of the State Financial Monitoring Service, Philip Pronin, appears.

ZN.UA writes about this with reference to the response of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine.

This is a criminal proceeding regarding the possible embezzlement of about 200 million hryvnias of budget funds by officials of the Poltava Autonomous Administration during the construction of fortifications in the Donetsk region.

The publication also states that after being appointed head of the State Financial Monitoring Service, Pronin allegedly implemented a scheme to illegally evade mobilization by issuing fictitious documents to obtain deferrals by service employees.

In its response, NABU noted that proceedings No. 52025000000000498 were merged with another case under a single number No. 72024171010000015.

According to ZN.UA, this proceeding was previously investigated by the territorial department of the BEB in the Poltava region regarding the construction of fortifications by the Poltava OVA.

NABU emphasized that the pre-trial investigation is ongoing, but the bureau is not disclosing other details.

“Providing other information at this stage of the criminal proceedings is not possible, as it may harm the pre-trial investigation,” the NABU noted.

It was previously reported that NABU conducted searches at all those involved in the case of embezzlement of budget funds for the construction of fortifications in the Poltava Autonomous Okrug.

We will remind you that the report to the European Commission by the Coalition of Ukrainian NGOs led by the Laboratory of Legislative Initiatives (LLI) indicates the political motives of the activities of the Head of the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine, Philip Pronin, on the basis of whose letter sanctions were imposed against Petro Poroshenko.
