SAPO prosecutors and NABU detectives, with operational support from the SBU, exposed an organized criminal group that seized over UAH 107 million in funds from state-owned enterprises that determine Ukraine's defense capability and security - members of the Ukroboronprom concern. About this reported at the National Anti-Corruption Bureau.
The suspects include former officials of state-owned enterprises and a beneficiary of a private company.
It is indicated that, according to the investigation, the corruption scheme consisted in the artificial involvement of a state-owned enterprise that exported Ukrainian-made military products, a non-resident company to perform intermediary services in foreign economic contracts. At the same time, in fact, all the work was carried out by full-time employees of the state-owned enterprise.
"During 2016-2019, the state-owned enterprise paid a non-resident company more than 3,78 million euros (equivalent to more than 107,2 million UAH) for allegedly performed work that was not actually performed. These funds passed through the accounts of fictitious companies and were subsequently distributed among the members of the criminal group," — reported the NABU.
The investigation is currently ongoing.
