Details: According to UP sources, this involves a representative of the "European Solidarity" party faction in the Lviv Regional Council Vladimir Domansky and the first deputy mayor of Yavoriv Vitaly Denega.
According to the investigation, the men attempted to deceive a local private entrepreneur and fraudulently take 1 million 200 thousand hryvnias from him.
The fraudsters promised the entrepreneur assistance in winning a tender for construction work in the region, but he declined.
