1 197 000 000 hryvnias on billion-scale procurements: why are law enforcement agencies turning a blind eye to defense schemes?
We again submitted a complaint to the country's leadership, law enforcement, and oversight bodies regarding the blatant sabotage, inaction, and simulation of investigations in high-profile criminal proceedings concerning the embezzlement of budget funds in the defense sector.
We have established that the beneficiary of a number of controlled companies, O. #Мітрохін, in collusion with the actual owner of LLC #УКРТАК.UA S. #Дангадзе and former high-ranking officials organized a transnational criminal scheme. Former defense ministers Oleksiy #Резніков, Rustem #Умєров, Denys #Шмигаль, Mykhailo #Федоров, former director #АОЗ Arsen #Жумаділов, head of #АМКУ Pavlo #Кириленко, and former Acting Head of the State Tax Service Lesia #Карнаух are involved in the organization and operation of this structure.
The criminal group implemented a large-scale scheme to evade taxes and monopolize the public procurement market during the supply of personal protective equipment and raw materials for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine totaling more than 💰1 197 000 000 hryvnias. The mechanism involved using shell Bulgarian nonresident companies as financial conduits to artificially inflate customs prices and create fictitious tax credit.
Despite the gravity of the crimes, the pretrial investigation authorities are demonstrating systemic inaction.
🔻The Territorial Department of the Bureau of Economic Security of Ukraine is conducting an investigation in criminal proceeding No. 72024161050000017 dated 18 October 2024 under part 1 of article 201-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding smuggling. However, the investigators' procedural activity was limited to merely seizing one truck carrying a batch of ballistic materials at the Orlivka checkpoint, while real searches in the offices of LLC UKRTAK.UA and customs broker LLC TENTION are not being carried out, and accounts at PrivatBank, Altbank, and PUMB remain unblocked.
🔻A similar situation is observed in criminal proceeding number 42024000000001190 dated 30 October 2024, which is being investigated by the State Bureau of Investigations in cooperation with the Main Investigation Department of the National Police of Ukraine under part 5 of article 191 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine regarding embezzlement and misappropriation of property on an especially large scale. The investigators limited themselves to a showy seizure of household appliances during a single search in December 2024, completely ignoring the need to seize corporate rights, order forensic economic examinations, and send requests for international legal assistance to Turkey and Bulgaria.
Tax and customs authorities are also shirking their duties, ignoring indicators of customs fraud risk and the absence of a tax audit.
✅In our complaint we demand that the country's leadership and law enforcement agencies conduct internal investigations into investigators' inaction, review officials' declarations as part of monitoring by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, block illegal financial flows, and bring all guilty persons to criminal responsibility.
