Сourt seized the Hrynkevych family's property and related companies
Hrynkevich was one of the MOD's largest suppliers.
State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) employees detained him when he offered $500,000 to one of the SBI Main Investigative Department chiefs.
The bribe was offered for assistance in the return of seized property companies controlled by him during the investigation of criminal proceedings.
A few months ago, the bureau initiated criminal proceedings on procuring clothes and underwear for AFU. The Lviv businessman's companies won 23 tenders for the clothing supply worth more than UAH 1.5 billion.
The investigation established that enterprises under the control of the businessman were involved in the execution of defence orders, which were previously engaged in construction and did not have adequate production, warehouse, manufacturing capacities or clothing storage for the MOD's needs. According to preliminary estimates, it led to budget losses of UAH 1.2 billion and supply disruption.
Hrynkevych case: what is known of it
A few months ago, SBI initiated criminal proceedings on procuring clothes and underwear for the Armed Forces. The Lviv businessman's companies won 23 tenders for the clothing supply to the Ministry of Defense for over UAH 1.5 billion.
The investigation established that enterprises under the control of the businessman were involved in the execution of defence orders, which were previously engaged in construction and did not have adequate production, warehouse, manufacturing capacities or clothing storage for the MOD's needs. According to preliminary estimates, it led to budget losses of UAH 1.2 billion and supply disruption.
Law enforcement officers also discovered complete non-fulfilment of six contracts. Under at least seven contracts, the enterprises delivered goods to the warehouses of military units only in small quantities but received state funds for complete fulfilment of obligations. It was established that eight contracts were executed with a delay of 3 to 5 months.
Moreover, the analysis of foreign economic contacts and customs documents of the specified enterprises revealed facts of the overvaluation of the goods supplied to the Ministry of Education and Culture.
The involvement of former MOD officials, who did not take any legal action to ensure the fulfilment or termination of contracts, is being investigated. According to preliminary estimates, the costs may reach over a billion hryvnias.
