How former MP Pashynskyi left the front without drones, and the defense industry without billions. Which law enforcement officers provide a “roof” for VYRIY.INDUSTRY despite all the schemes
Billion-hryvnia defense embezzlement schemes and dead contracts have become commonplace for the company #Вирій Industry, which is linked to former MP Serhiy #Пашинський. ❗️The official founder of the firm is listed as former fire-theater actor Oleksiy #Бабенко, but behind this nameplate for a long time have been hidden beneficiaries who are siphoning colossal sums from the state budget.
The structure was registered in 2023 year, and within a few years it began winning huge contracts to supply unmanned aerial vehicles that ultimately never reach the front.
Last year the enterprise took on supplying the Defense Forces with one hundred twenty thousand unmanned systems on fiber-optic communication via the DOTChain Defence system, with preliminary calculations from the Defense Procurement Agency #АОЗ. 🤷♂️On paper the customers formed a large-scale order, but in reality the promised drones did not arrive within the specified deadlines, and the contract became the focus of a criminal investigation.
7 in July this year investigators from the State Bureau of Investigations #ДБР conducted heated searches at the firm’s office and Babenko’s residence, seizing more than thirty-two million hryvnias in cash as part of proceedings into possible misappropriation of budget funds totaling almost seven billion hryvnias, although the figures initially were only witnesses.
Despite the company’s status as a suspect in a criminal case, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission just a month later registered the issuance of corporate bonds for Vyriy Industry. 👇The fundraising was organized through Inzhur MilTech and Inzhur Capital, whose ultimate beneficiary is #Журжій, offering investors a five-billion program at high interest rates with warnings about obvious risks.
At the same time, the manufacturer built an extensive network of technical entities such as Tekhnospoilnota, Motor G, Evertrade, VK Vertex and Eney Technology, through which payments were artificially split and the price of fiber-optic cable was inflated without changing its characteristics.
Financial flows involving related companies, non-residents and a number of sole proprietors exceeded one hundred ninety-seven million hryvnias, circulating in a circle under the guise of non-goods transactions, cross-border transfers and conversion to cash.
Our organization has long been exposing this illegal activity, submitting numerous complaints, information requests and crime reports to law enforcement agencies. Based on our materials, the territorial office of the SBI in Poltava is investigating proceedings under the article on tax evasion, and the Solomianska district prosecutor’s office is considering a case under the article on usurpation of authority, but because of influential connections the investigation is effectively stalled.
✅We have already filed repeated complaints demanding verification of the reality of business operations, the movement of funds through fictitious intermediaries and the ultimate beneficiaries of this scheme, because the public must know how many more billions of budget money are planned to be funneled into the pockets of businessmen under the cover of war.
