Recently, information appeared in the mass media about a large-scale embezzlement scheme by the entourage of the mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Markushin, of funds from local budgets allocated for the reconstruction of the affected community. In particular, it was about his main contractor Serhii Rosstalnyi.
According to the data of the YouControl system, Rosstalnyi Serhiy Valeriyovych was an assistant to the People's Deputy from the Party of Regions Nestor Shufrych.
On September 3, ex-regional Nestor Shufrych received a new suspicion (https://www.gp.gov.ua/ua/posts/suditimut-narodnogo-deputata-ukrayini-ta-iogo-kolisnyogo-pomicnika) in the pre-trial detention center: he is accused of financing Russian Guard in the Crimea. The investigation claims that Shufrych paid money to Russians for military protection of his elite real estate on the peninsula. In 3 months of 2016, his company paid over 500,000 Russian rubles to the occupiers.
In the summer of 2024, the Nezlamni.City publication published an article (https://nezlamni.city/articles/360389/525-mln-z-byudzhetu-dlya-druziv-mera-ta-yak-otrimuvati-170-tis-grn- pri-okladi-6-tis-lajfhaki-vid-imr) "525 million from the budget for the mayor's friends and how to get 170 thousand hryvnias with a salary of 6 thousand: life hacks from IMR", and the publication "Resonance" published an article (https: //resonance.ua/otochennya-mera-irpenya-markushina-otrim/) "Entourage of Irpin Mayor Markushyn received 525 million from the budget for post-war reconstruction."
In the publications it is said that LLC "Building Company Big Bud Invest" and Individual Enterpreneur Rosstalnyi Serhii Valeriyovych became the main contractors for the reconstruction of the damaged infrastructure of Irpin and after the deoccupation of Kyiv region received more than half a billion UAH from local budgets, and also, in a strange way, received exclusive contracts from the Government of Lithuania .
After a number of publications in the mass media, Markushyn's main and favourite contractor - Serhii Rosstalnyi was never seen in Irpen. There is information among local entrepreneurs that he is either preparing to leave the territory of Ukraine or has already left it.
The mayor of Irpen, Oleksandr Markushyn, has not yet commented on the information about the withdrawal of half a billion hryvnias to Serhii Rosstalny. In the same way, Markushyn remains silent as to why Serhii Rosstalnyi "accidentally" became a contractor for the Government of Lithuania during the construction of the "Ruta" kindergarten in Irpin.
Taken Serhii Rosstalny's close ties with Nestor Shufrych, the funds allocated for the reconstruction of Irpin could be used to finance pro-Russian subversive activities in Ukraine. Rosstalnyi could take part of the funds for similar purposes with him to Europe.
