Volyn Supplier Suspected of Misappropriating UAH 3.9m
The director of a company from Volyn is suspected of embezzling almost UAH 4 million during the supply of ATVs for the military unit of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
According to the investigation, in December 2025, the military unit concluded a contract with the enterprise for the purchase of 28 Segway AT10 Standart ATVs, manufactured in 2025. The price of one was over 699 thousand UAH.
The enterprise was paid over UAH 19.5 million in budget funds for the equipment supplied. At the same time, the existing ATVs differed from the agreed specification in a number of characteristics. In particular, their height, width and length, characteristics of the rear wheels and LED lighting did not correspond to the declared parameters. In addition, the equipment did not have the rear protective bumpers and extended wings provided for in the package.
According to the expert opinion, the cost of the actually delivered equipment was overstated by almost UAH 3.9 million. This is about 20% of the total purchase amount.
The director of the enterprise was charged under Part 5 of Article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (misappropriation of another's property by abuse of official position, committed under martial law and on a particularly large scale). The issue of choosing a preventive measure for the suspect is currently being decided. He could face up to 12 years in prison.
Earlier, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau also reported that, together with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, they exposed a criminal group that seized 137.5 million hryvnias from the Kyiv Metro utility company.
In addition, we reported that an official of the State Service for Food and Consumer Protection was detained in the Odessa region, suspected of receiving a $5,000 bribe from an entrepreneur. According to the investigation, he demanded money in exchange for not creating obstacles in work and not recording violations during price control.
