DBR detained entrepreneurs who sold military eggs for 17 hryvnias (photo, video)

Law enforcement officers estimated the losses that businessmen and employees of the Ministry of Defense caused the state - UAH 4. 6 million. During searches, the suspects were seized 1 million UAH in cash. The staff of the State Bureau of Investigation, together with the Security Service of Ukraine, detained entrepreneurs who appropriated the funds allocated for food for the army. This was reported on Thursday, February 2, in the press service of the DBR.

"Particular attention is paid to providing food, because here, according to thieves, it is easiest to" hide ends in water " - products can be" written off "," eat on paper ", etc. ", - it is said in the press release. The investigation found that one of the suppliers, among other things, supplied military eggs at inflated prices.

Episodes were also recorded when the grief-entrepreneurs made it the wrong information that the military unit had received products at its warehouse, but in fact nothing was supplied. Non -existent products were later "written off" as "eaten" soldiers. According to the HBI, the suspects were convinced that they did not leave any trace of the crime, because it is very difficult to check the products consumed.

In the course of investigative actions, law enforcement officers detained 5 people, including entrepreneurs and military, who are responsible for providing one of the military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The detention of a serviceman who conducted the "black accounting" of the Dilkiv is also reported. The DBR calculated the amount of losses from the state from criminal activity - UAH 4. 6 million. The participants of the scheme divided this money.

1 million UAH managed to withdraw in cash during the searches from the persons involved in the investigation. The detainees are preparing suspicions, they will soon be chosen by preventive measures. Criminal crimes were qualified as the assignment or waste of another's property in particularly large amounts under Part 5 of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code. The sanction of the article provides for imprisonment for up to 12 years.

We will remind, on January 21, journalist Yuri Nikolov published an investigation on the website of Dt. ua, which says that the Ministry of Defense will steal budget funds, significantly inflating food prices for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thus, judging from the documents that got into the hands of the journalist, the defense department ordered eggs for 17 UAH apiece and potatoes for 22 UAH per kilogram, although in Kiev the retail price is 7 and 9 UAH, respectively.

On January 22, the Defense Ministry published a statement stating that the information about the procurement is allegedly spreading with the signs of deliberate manipulation and misleading the public. According to the head of the MoD Alexei Reznikov, journalists have submitted in their investigation distorted information through technical errors in working documentation.

On January 23, a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence was held, at which it became known that NABU had already opened criminal proceedings on the procurement of a defense department of food at inflated prices. The next day, January 24, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Vyacheslav Shapovalov resigned. He answered in the department for the rear support of the Ukrainian army.

He decided to get rid of "not to threat to the Armed Forces stable" after publishing a resonant investigation. On February 1, the DBR informed him of suspicion of signing contracts for the supply of products for the Armed Forces at inflated prices. In addition, he is likely to buy low quality bulletproof vests, helmets, clothing and other things for Ukrainian servicemen totaling more than UAH 1 billion.
