According to the investigation, for almost $ 45,000, the Colonel of the Armed Forces had to conclude a contract for the supply of goods to the military for UAH 36 million. The SBU exposed another scheme of theft of funds intended for Ukrainian troops. This time, the Colonel of the Armed Forces and the Lviv entrepreneur were detained. This was reported in the press service of the Security Service of Ukraine.

One of the suspects works as the head of one of the departments of the Command of Forces of Support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the investigation, he had to receive money from the head of one of Lviv companies, for which he promised to conclude an agreement on the supply of goods for Ukrainian companies. In particular, it is an undue benefit of almost $ 45,000. The funds were to be transferred several parts.

The suspects in Kiev were detained during the receipt of the first part of the funds - $ 14. 6 thousand. The Security Service of Ukraine is said to have an agreement for the supply of goods for UAH 36 million for the undue benefit with the entrepreneur. However, law enforcement officers exposed the suspects in advance. It is reported that more than 30 searches were conducted at the places of residence and in the workplace. During them, equipment, documents and black accounting were removed.

In addition, the suspects found UAH 10 million. The origin of the funds is now being clarified. The detainees were declared suspicion and sent in custody. Each of them can be secured in the amount of UAH 10 million. Law enforcement officers are currently establishing other persons involved in the illegal scheme. They are threatened with 10 years in prison with the confiscation of property.

We will remind, at the end of December the DBR reported that they exposed on the attempt of bribery of one of the largest suppliers of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The man tried to give a bribe of half a million dollars for the return of the property of his companies, which was seized in the case of equipment in the purchase of clothing for the military. The media wrote that it was about Lviv businessman Igor Grinkevich.
