Description

What the bribe bought

The payments bought favourable treatment on municipal work: a tree-removal contract (August 2016) and a boat-station capital repair contract (December 2016). A push for 2017 budget funding was promised; no contract value is stated.

What happened

A former deputy director of a municipal park utility company in Zhytomyr received 60 thousand UAH (60 тис. грн) in cash in two handovers, of 40,000 and 20,000 UAH, in the central park. The payer was a local entrepreneur representing a company that got the contracts. The last handover ended in detention by law enforcement. A court sentenced the official to 6 years in prison with a ban on holding office, and the appeal court upheld it.
