The employees of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) have reported the suspicion to the head of one of the departments of the Ministry of Defense, who "wrote off" almost UAH 94 million to Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevych, who delayed the delivery of goods to the Ministry of Defense under a number of contracts.
The SBI has informed about this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
In 2023, enterprises controlled by the businessman concluded contracts with the Ministry of Defense for the supply of military clothing.
In particular, the companies signed 23 agreements worth over UAH 1.5 billion.
In order to avoid the imposition of fines or their significant reduction, the suspects appealed to the temporary acting director of the relevant department of the Ministry of Defense.
They asked him to list the imposed fines for violation of the terms of delivery of goods.
It was established that due to the actions of the so-called director of the department, fines were unjustifiably reduced from almost UAH 98 million to UAH 4.5 million, i.e. by UAH 93.5 million.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, SBI employees have completed a pre-trial investigation into a Lviv businessman and other suspects who supplied poor-quality military clothing for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for over UAH 1 billion.
The State Bureau of Investigation is preparing to hand over a notice of suspicion to officials of the Ministry of Defense in the case of Roman Hrynkevych's accusation of embezzlement and supply of low-quality uniforms of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
