Law enforcement officers have exposed the director of a branch of one of the enterprises of JSC “Ukrzaliznytsia,” two of his deputies, and the chief accountant for organizing a mechanism to illegally accrete additional payments to employees of the apparatus. The National Police of Ukraine reported that these officials orchestrated a system of unlawful financial practices, resulting in over 22 million UAH in embezzled funds.
The case has raised serious concerns about the integrity of Ukrzaliznytsia’s management and financial oversight. Officials are now under investigation for alleged violations of financial regulations and breach of fiduciary duties. The National Police of Ukraine has launched a formal inquiry into the matter, which may lead to legal proceedings against those involved.
This incident has not only highlighted the vulnerabilities in Ukraine’s public sector financial systems but also sparked calls for more stringent oversight and accountability measures. Ukrainian officials have emphasized the need for transparency and reform to prevent such cases in the future.
