Procurement of nylon nets at inflated prices for the construction of the Podilskyi Bridge (losses of over UAH 153 million)

On 22 April 2025, the Economic Security Bureau together with the SBU reported that three persons, including employees of a municipal enterprise responsible for the construction of the capital's road and transport facilities, had been served notices of suspicion under Article 191(5) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. According to investigators, in 2017–2021 the officials, in collusion with representatives of commercial companies, organised the procurement of nylon nets for the Podilskyi bridge crossing: companies from the Czech Republic and the UAE bought the netting in Turkey for USD 110 and sold it to the MUE six times more expensively; budget losses – over UAH 153 million. The ESBU does not name the persons; media reported that the suspects include the current director of the MUE, Roman Lisnevskyi. A column in «Ukrainska Pravda» also mentions Article 367(2) of the Criminal Code and other amounts (inflated equipment rental) not given in the official ESBU announcement. Bihus.Info journalists reported that in 2022 Lisnevskyi's mother-in-law gave his wife UAH 24 million, and the family bought, among other things, two apartments in Spain. Procedural supervision – the Office of the Prosecutor General. There is no verdict; the person is presumed innocent until the verdict enters into force.
