Thus, it was impressed that certain patients allegedly received medical care or signed declarations with doctors. But it turned out that some of these people have long been abroad, never consulted doctors or even died. This scheme allowed medical institutions to receive money from the budget for the maintenance of fictitious patients. The investigation began in December 2024. Investigators have already received permission to access the full database of patients receiving medical services in 2022-2024. In case of refusal to provide documents - searches can be conducted. Police are currently establishing persons involved in fraud and continues to gather evidence to confirm the systemic abuse.

Separately, the region is investigating another case - for the possible theft of funds under the guise of reconstruction of the technical water supply system at the Tashlytsky Reservoir, which serves the South Ukrainian Nuclear Power Plant. According to the investigation, the scheme may include PJSC officials who attracted fictitious firms as contractors. Thus, the money was allocated for reconstruction, which either did not occur or was formally carried out.

Both investigations continue. Law enforcement officers urge citizens to report any known cases of such frauds.
