As the department found out, the find is directly related to the activities of a criminal group, which for a long time embezzled municipal funds allocated for the disposal of so-called “clinical waste”: amputated body parts, etc. Instead of the necessary cremation, they were simply buried in forest belts.
“It was established that the head of one of the Zaporozhye companies over the past year did not fulfill contracts for the disposal of clinical waste and embezzled budget funds allocated for this in the amount of more than 170 thousand hryvnia. The mentioned society specializes in the collection and disposal of hazardous waste, including clinical (biological) waste, which includes waste arising from medical care, veterinary practice, and waste generated in hospitals, maternity hospitals or other institutions during research, operations etc. Those. body parts were amputated, embryos after abortions, miscarriages,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported.
As law enforcement officers explained, according to disposal agreements concluded with medical institutions, clinical waste must be disposed of by burning in a crematorium. However, the enterprise simply transported the biomaterial to forest belts or landfills.
During an investigative experiment with the participation of one of the participants in the scam, about a ton of clinical (biological) waste was discovered in a forest belt near the village of Kamyshevakha. A number of searches have now been carried out and measures are already being taken to confiscate documents from medical institutions regarding the implementation of contracts with the mentioned LLC (acts of work performed, invoices against which work performed was paid).
The investigative unit began criminal proceedings on the grounds of Part 4 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (misappropriation, embezzlement of property or taking possession of it through abuse of official position),
The criminals face 8 years in prison.
