The SAPO prosecutor has decided to complete the pre-trial investigation into the case of embezzlement of funds of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine during the purchase of aviation equipment, namely tires for military aircraft, which caused losses to the state of UAH 27.3 million. Today, on the instructions of the SAPO prosecutor, NABU detectives have opened the case materials to the defense for review
Let us remind you that Konstantin But and Volodymyr Vysotsky are suspects in the EBK base.
NABU, SBU and SAPO have exposed two officials of the Armaments Command of the Logistics Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for corruption. According to the investigation, in 2021–2022, the heads of two structural units of the Central Directorate for Aviation and Air Defense Armaments of the CLF of the Armed Forces of Ukraine abused their official position in the interests of private companies.
Officials ensured the victory of predetermined companies in tenders for the supply of aviation components, creating the illusion of competition. More favorable offers from other participants were either distorted or ignored. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine concluded unprofitable contracts and overpaid 27.3 million UAH.
