Details: According to the investigation, the organizer of the criminal scheme was a deputy who is also the owner and director of a business. Upon learning about the planned purchases of clothing for the military in the Kherson region, he decided to profit from it. To carry out the scheme, he involved an acquaintance whom he appointed as the director of another controlled enterprise, as well as the accountant of that company.
The suspects purchased cheap, low-quality clothing without the necessary certificates confirming compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The goods only visually resembled military attire. As a result, the state suffered damages exceeding 21 million UAH.
Currently, the deputy, his accomplice, and the accountant have been informed of their suspicion of illegally acquiring someone else's property by abusing their official position, as well as creating and issuing knowingly false official documents as part of an organized group (part 3 of article 28, part 5 of article 191, part 3 of article 28, part 2 of article 15, part 5 of article 191, part 3 of article 28, part 1 of article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Discussions are underway regarding the selection of preventive measures and ensuring the compensation for the damages inflicted on the state.
The sanctions for the incriminated articles provide for up to 12 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
