The National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office completed the investigation with the suspicion of former Deputy Minister of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Vasily Lozinsky of receiving a bribe in the amount of $400 thousand.
About it reports NABU press service.

NABU recalled that in the summer of 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers allocated UAH 1.41 billion for the purchase of equipment to provide the population with alternative sources of light, heat and water supply in the winter against the backdrop of the destruction of critical infrastructure. I
The investigation found that part of these funds was embezzled by a top official of the ministry.
and In collusion with a group of persons and using his official position, he ensured the conclusion of supply contracts at a price 25-30% above the market price with predetermined companies. They were also required to transfer 7-10% of the contract amount as a “reward”. To minimize the risk of exposure, the participants in the crime resorted to conspiracy: the unlawful benefit, which amounted to $400 thousand in the first tranche, was transferred to the deputy minister’s confidant in Lvov.
Soon after receiving the funds, anti-corruption authorities detained this man and four other participants in the crime, including the deputy minister. They also seized $400,000 in illegal benefits.
