Ministry of Defense buyers finally managed to contract body armor worth 1,3 billion UAH. But they only managed to do so after raising the procurement price from $400 per “Korsar” (that’s what they were buying in the first half of the year) to $500.
This is a very sharp increase of 20%, and other large purchasers of industrial goods did not see such price increases in dollar terms across the board.
In this case it is obvious that the new price level was demanded by market participants. When “AOZ” raised the price from 400 to 420 dollars, no one showed up at the tenders. No one showed up with a price of 470 dollars either. Only when they posted 500 did bidders appear. And none of them competed even by one dollar among themselves. Pure cartel collusion — they split the lots three ways.
Who are these three and in which combinations are Yevtushenko-Lesnikov and Mitrokhin cooperating with Alekseyeva now?
