⚠️ Report of rulings: Ministry of Defense — procurements worth 54,06 billion UAH, Krot and Lazebnikov — Russian online casinos, “Kovalska” — illegal construction on the Dnipro shore
To accelerate the investigation and procedural supervision, the NGO “NON-STOP UKRAINE” filed complaints about the failure to enter information into the Unified Register of Pre-Trial Investigations (URPTI) based on reports of criminal schemes related to the cover-up of gas deals, financial conversion, and illegal transfer of funds abroad.
▪️ Defense procurements worth 54 billion UAH: inflated prices and a limited circle of suppliers
The scheme to appropriate budget funds involves former Minister of Defense Mykhailo #Федоров, his former first deputy Oleksiy #Вискуб, former director of the Ministry of Defense Procurement Department Serhiy Kulyas, and former director of the state enterprise “#АОЗ” Arsen #Жумаділов. During the purchase of food products worth 54,06 billion UAH, only 9 out of 20 companies were allowed to participate, including LLC “TRADE GRANIT INVEST,” LLC “TORGSITI PRODUCT,” and LLC “ADELN.”
The expected cost of a food kit was set at 171,48 UAH versus about 128 UAH in comparable Procurements on Prozorro. It is worth noting the purchase of diesel fuel at a price of about 78,66 UAH/l compared to a market price of 54–57 UAH/l. The estimated overpricing ranges from 880 million to more than 1 billion UAH.
The Ternopil City and District Court of the Ternopil region, by ruling in case No. 607/16015/26, ordered authorized officials of the Ternopil Regional Prosecutor’s Office to enter the relevant information into the URPTI.
▪️ The Krot and Lazebnikov scheme: Russian online casinos’ operations, fund outflow, and cover-up by officials
Co-owners of the IT holding Techia, #Крот O.O. and #Лазебніков Yu.L., by involving controlled persons and using corrupt ties with representatives of state, regulatory, and law enforcement bodies, organized a scheme to support the operations of Russian online casinos in Ukraine, in particular #1xBet.
The scheme involved obtaining licenses through controlled companies, tax evasion, transferring funds abroad through affiliated payment systems, banks, and crypto exchangers, and providing undue benefits to officials to block inspections and avoid responsibility. The NGO “FUNDATSIYA TECHIA” was used to legalize proceeds, and the participants’ activities were shielded thanks to connections in law enforcement and judicial bodies.
The Desnianskyi District Court of Kyiv, by ruling in case No. 754/13973/26, ordered authorized officials of the Desnianskyi Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv to enter the relevant information into the URPTI.
▪️ The “Kovalska” scheme: illegal development of the Dnipro coastal strip
The CEO of the industrial-construction group “#Ковальська,” #Пилипенко S.O., using ties with representatives of state bodies and controlled structures, organized a scheme for the illegal use of water fund lands to build commercial real estate in Kyiv, in particular near Mykilsko-Slobidska Street, 15.
The scheme involved the unauthorized occupation of the Dnipro’s coastal protective strip, illegal placement of construction and household waste, destruction of green spaces, violations of permitting procedures, and possible illegal extraction of minerals. The development was implemented using LLC “PBG KOVALSKA” (#35142753), and assistance from officials of state and control bodies was ensured.
The Dnipro District Court of Kyiv, by ruling in case No. 754/13973/26, ordered authorized officials of the Dnipro Police Department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv to enter the relevant information into the URPTI.
