The Zmiiv District Court in the Kharkiv region found six people guilty of involvement in falsifying payroll records at the Zmiiv Central District Hospital. As a result of this scheme, the hospital lost more than 429 thousand hryvnias.
The scheme operated from September 2022 to October 2025. The head of the hospital's technical department organized it in collusion with a driver. Signed time sheets, containing false information about working hours, were submitted to the accounting department. Based on this, salaries were paid to individuals who were not actually performing their duties.
The head of the technical department provided false information, signed documents, and passed them on to the accountants. The hospital driver prepared and signed fictitious attendance sheets for another accused. Another hospital driver received payment without performing any work.
