In the Volyn region, employees of the State Service for Combating Economic Crime exposed officials of the State Enterprise "Volynvuhillia," who in 2004, having received 1.5 million hryvnias from the main department of economy of the Volyn Regional State Administration to create new jobs at the "Buzhanska" mine, used the said funds to purchase mining equipment. This is reported by "Podrobnosti."
According to the Department of the State Service for Combating Economic Crime of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, after receiving the funds, they were distributed among the structural subdivisions of the state enterprise. At the same time, while reporting on the use of the received money, the offenders provided false information about the full utilization of the funds with the employment of people in 25 newly created jobs at the "Buzhanska" mine. Thus, the officials deliberately used budget funds contrary to their intended purpose, thereby violating the legislation on the budget system of Ukraine. A criminal case has been initiated.
