In collusion with a private enterprise, a representative of a military unit in the Kyiv region issued "empty" invoices for the supply of products worth millions of hryvnias, which were not delivered.
Frauds under martial law
The employees of the SBU, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, exposed the officials of one of the military units of the Kyiv region on the shelves with food for their personnel worth millions of hryvnias.
The SBI reported this on Facebook.
The organized group included service members and employees of the military unit, who entered into a conspiracy with private entrepreneurs and sold part of the products intended for the unit's soldiers in shops, restaurants and bazaars. They took at least 30% of the products from the warehouse, reducing the daily food supply for the military accordingly.
The "residue" of the products was also used in another scheme. A representative of the military unit, in collusion with a private enterprise, issued "empty" invoices for the supply of products worth millions of hryvnias, which were not actually delivered. And the products that were not issued to the soldiers before their sale were recorded on paper, the investigation revealed.
Due to the forgery of financial documents by the attacker, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine was misled and made full payment for food. At the same time, the criminals appropriated the cash.
Evidence has been received regarding the embezzlement of at least 5 million hryvnias.
The court sent the suspect of corruption under arrest
On November 27, the higher anti-corruption court chose a preventive measure against Viktor Zhor, the former deputy head of the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection. Together with other persons, he is suspected of embezzling state funds for over UAH 62 million.
Thus, the court satisfied the request of the NABU detectives, agreed to by the Special Anti-Corruption prosecutor, and imposed a preventive measure on the former deputy in the form of detention with the alternative of paying UAH 10 million bail and imposing procedural obligations in case of bail.
