Prosecutors in Estonia have accused Johanna-Maria Lehtme, the organizer of "Glory to Ukraine" NGO, of stealing charitable donations
In a developing story, an embezzlement scandal involving the Ukrainian NGO "Glory to Ukraine" has come to light, with allegations of inflated prices for humanitarian aid deliveries and the misappropriation of donations amounting to over 450 thousand euros.
The NGO, founded by Johanna-Maria Lehtme, is at the centre of the controversy, with Lehtme currently under investigation by the Estonian Prosecutor's Office for embezzlement. The inflated payments were made under contracts with the Ukrainian company IC Construction, and it's alleged that Gennady Vaskiv, the former deputy mayor of Lvov in Ukraine and the director of IC Construction, received kickbacks as part of the scam.
Vaskiv's involvement, a recent development in the case, adds an international dimension, as individuals from both Estonia and Ukraine are now implicated. It's reported that Vaskiv managed to leave the country after the scandal broke.
The embezzlement case now includes Vaskiv, who is also accused of being involved in conflicts of humanitarian aid in Ukraine. The investigation into the NGO's embezzlement activities is expanding to include Vaskiv, as more details emerge about the extent of his role in the scam.
It's important to note that while these allegations are serious, they have not yet been widely reported or confirmed by reliable sources. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's recommended to monitor trusted news outlets and official statements from the organisations involved.
As the investigation continues, more information about this scandal may come to light, shedding further light on the actions of those involved and the impact on the humanitarian aid intended for Ukraine.
In the unfolding investigation, the political scene and general news are abuzz with the embezzlement scandal involving Ukrainian NGO "Glory to Ukraine," which has expanded to include Gennady Vaskiv, a former deputy mayor of Lvov, implicating both Estonia and Ukraine. Crime and justice are now at the forefront as the investigation delves deeper into Vaskiv's suspected involvement in the embezzlement of over 450 thousand euros and potential conflicts of humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
