HACC extended obligations for deputy head of Logistics Forces

The High Anti-Corruption Court extended until March 20 the term of office of Volodymyr Vysotsky, Deputy Head of the Aviation and Technical Support Department of the Central Aviation Support and Air Defense Armaments Department of the Logistics Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As is known, the anti-corruption court set a bail of UAH 2 million for Deputy Head of the Logistics Forces Department Vysotsky. He was also given the following obligations: to appear upon first demand; not to leave the Kyiv region without permission; to report any change in his place of residence and work; to refrain from communicating with another suspect in this case and witnesses; to hand over his foreign passports and to wear an electronic bracelet.

The prosecutor of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested that these duties be extended for another two months. The judge granted the request.

The motion of the SAPO prosecutor to extend the term of the duties imposed on the suspect (Vysotsky – ed.) in criminal proceedings is granted. The suspect's term of duties stipulated in Part 5 of Article 194 of the Criminal Procedure Code is extended until March 20, 2025 inclusive, but not longer than the term of the pre-trial investigation.

As a reminder, NABU, SBU and SAPO have exposed two officials of the Armament Command of the Logistics Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for corruption. According to the investigation, the heads of two structural units of the Central Directorate for Aviation and Air Defense Armament of the KSL of the Armed Forces of Ukraine abused their official position in favor of representatives of two private companies, ensuring their victory in tenders for the purchase of aviation components.

With the assistance of officials, price proposals from a predetermined group of participants were submitted for consideration by the commission, which was supposed to create the appearance of competition. Instead, more profitable commercial proposals from another participant were either deliberately distorted or completely ignored. As a result, the Logistics Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine concluded unprofitable contracts and overpaid for products by UAH 27.3 million.

It was previously reported that NABU and SAPO have completed the investigation into Pashynsky's case.

We also wrote that the SAPO will refer the case of developer Hlimbovsky to court.
