SBI employees have completed a pre-trial investigation into the prosecutor of one of the district prosecutor's offices of Kyiv, who embezzled UAH 4 million seized during the investigation.
The SBI has informed about this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
The indictment was sent to the court.
In August 2023, the prosecutor supervised a criminal proceeding against a private enterprise.
During the searches, he seized UAH 4,242,000 in different currencies in hryvnia equivalent from the merchant.
However, instead of handing over the money for proper safekeeping, the prosecutor took it for himself.
After that, he stopped going to work and did not show up at the address listed as his actual residence.
He is accused of abusing his official position by taking possession of someone else's property in particularly large amounts (Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
He is currently dismissed from the prosecutor's office.
The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty for a term of up to 15 years.
Procedural management is carried out by the Prosecutor General's Office.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, during the search of the businessman, the prosecutor seized UAH 4 million of "cash", took it for himself and stopped going to work.
