Financial Violations in Video Surveillance Procurement
Police investigators found that the deputy general director of the municipal enterprise “Informatika” failed to ensure proper verification of market prices when organizing the procurement of technical equipment for the development of the city’s video surveillance system. This led to an artificial inflation of the equipment’s cost, and the terms of the contract signed with the supplier turned out to be unfavorable for the capital’s community. According to expert conclusions, the damages to the Kyiv budget exceeded 2.1 million hryvnias.
