In Kamensky, the chief accountant embezzled 1.5 million hryvnias from her employer.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, in the city of Kamianske, a former chief accountant of a private enterprise is accused of embezzling a substantial amount of money — 1.5 million hryvnias. The story came to light after the robbed entrepreneur filed a police report regarding the missing funds. This was reported by "Vidomo," citing the Dnipropetrovsk regional police.

After a thorough investigation, the deficit of 1.5 million hryvnias was confirmed. An investigation commenced, leading to the exposure of a large-scale financial fraud.

The culprit turned out to be a 66-year-old woman who had worked for many years as the chief accountant for the victim. Her job responsibilities included complete control over the company’s financial flows, including access to the electronic digital key with the manager's signature. This access, as revealed during the investigation, became the primary tool in committing the crime.

For four years, using her official position and access to the internet banking system, she entered false information about her salary — artificially inflating it and illegally crediting herself significant sums of money. These funds were then transferred to her personal bank account.

The law enforcement authorities conducted a comprehensive investigation, including an analysis of bank transactions, witness interrogations, and an examination of financial documents. During the investigation, forged documents were discovered that confirmed the false salary data of the woman. The expertise confirmed the fact of forgery.

The 66-year-old woman now faces multiple serious charges under the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

• Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Misappropriation, embezzlement of property, or acquisition of it through abuse of official position. This article provides for significant prison sentences depending on the amount of damage caused. In this case, it concerns a colossal sum of 1.5 million hryvnias, which significantly worsens the defendant's situation.
• Parts 1 and 2 of Article 200 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Forgery of documents, as well as their use. The forgery of documents used for misappropriation of funds is an aggravating circumstance and entails additional criminal liability.
• Part 1 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Legalization (laundering) of property obtained by criminal means. This accusation indicates that the woman took certain actions to conceal the illegally obtained funds and prevent their confiscation.

The accused has now been informed of the suspicion against her. She faces a lengthy prison sentence and significant financial penalties. The investigation is ongoing.
