Case description
The HACC approved plea agreements with former Inkomm Director Dmytro Tsivun and his deputy Nadiia Bohdan. They facilitated a procurement transaction at inflated prices, which caused SE Ukrzaliznychpostach to suffer more than UAH 20 million in losses.
This contract was concluded with a deliberately inflated price for hardware products, which caused damage to SE Ukrzaliznychpostach in the amount of over UAH 21 million.
From June to December 2014, Tsivun and Bohdan, in collusion with deputy director of the state-owned enterprise Ukrzaliznychpostach and Hordeyeva, former head of the competitive bidding committee at Ukrzaliznychpostach, provided instructions to other individuals and assisted in concluding a contract for the supply of hardware products. The price in the contract was inflated, which caused damage to Ukrzaliznychpostach of more than UAH 21 million.
After that, Tsivun and Bohdan legalized the funds they received. In particular, they concluded a fictitious contract for the provision of consulting services with the controlled Luxven LLC.
The actions of Tsivun and Bohdan were classified under Article 364(2) and Article 209(3) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The defendants concluded plea agreements and partially reimbursed UAH 9.9 million and UAH 772,000, respectively. The HACC imposed a 13-month probationary period on them.
In addition, the HACC acquitted Iryna Hordeyeva, former head of one of the departments of Ukrzaliznytsia’s subsidiary, due to lack of proof of her guilt. Her actions were previously qualified under Article 191, part 5 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
