“Ukrtelefilm” case: investigation completed
The Detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) completed the investigation as of the facts of causing more than 67.73 million UAH damage to the State Enterprise “Ukrainian Television Film Studio “Ukrtelefilm”. On April 26, 2019, three suspects — ex-Director, his accomplice-organizer of the scheme, Head of the Limited Liability Company (LLC) involved in the scheme — and their lawyers were granted with access to the materials of criminal proceeding for review.
The investigation revealed that ex-Director of “Ukrtelefilm” in conspiracy with some persons alienated property rights for 62 real estate objects located in Kyiv (apartments, non-residential premises, parking spaces). These actions were committed with numerous violations of the procedure for the alienation of state property, in particular, without agreeing with the governing body — the State Committee for Television and Radiobroadcasting. As a result, 67.73 million UAH damage was caused to the State.
