The employees of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) reported the suspicion to the ex-head of the Main Department of Internal Security of the SSU Andrii Naumov, who organized the forgery of official documents to avoid criminal liability in the Republic of Serbia.
The Ukrainian News agency was informed about this by the SBI.
On June 7, 2022, the former high-ranking official tried to leave the territory of the Republic of Serbia to North Macedonia through the Preševo border crossing, hiding property and money from customs control.
The following were found in his possession: EUR 592,990, USD 120,102, two emeralds.
He was traveling in a BMW X6 PMV car, which formally belongs to his wife.
All this property and funds were obtained by the person involved in a criminal way during his tenure as the director of the State Enterprise "Center for Organizational, Technical and Information Support for the Management of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone" and in the SSU.
He was detained by Serbian law enforcement officers because he violated the provisions of Art. 86 of the Law of the Republic of Serbia "On Prevention of Money Laundering" and Art. 12 of the Law of the Republic of Serbia "On Customs Affairs".
In order to avoid responsibility, Naumov decided to falsify official documents in order to create a false impression among Serbian law enforcement and judicial authorities regarding the legality of the origin of funds and property.
He entered into a criminal conspiracy with other persons and organized the production of forged official documents.
In particular, the loan agreement (revolving financial aid), apparently concluded between his father and a third party, and also the act of providing funds to the Loan Agreement, apparently concluded between his father and the same person.
After receiving a package of false documents from accomplices, he handed them over to the Specialized Anti-Corruption Department of the High Court in the Serbian city of Niš.
However, in cooperation with the law enforcement agencies of Serbia, the investigators of the SBI and the prosecutor's office proved the fact of forgery of these documents and handed them over to the Serbian court.
The former head of the Main Department of Internal Security of the SSU was notified of suspicion of committing a criminal offense under Part 3 of Art. 27, Part 3 of Art. 358 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, namely in the organization of forgery of official documents that are issued or certified by persons who have the right to issue or certify such documents, and which grant rights or exempt from duties, for the purpose of using them by the forger or another person committed under the previous conspiracy by a group of persons.
Recall that the SBI is investigating a number of criminal proceedings against the former head of the SSU Main Department of Internal Security, including illegal enrichment, and is taking measures to extradite him to Ukraine.
