Officials of the military unit in the Kiev region accused of machinations

Employees of the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) of Ukraine exposed officials of the military unit in Kyiv region on million-dollar deals with products for the personnel.

The State Bureau of Investigation said that the GBI officers “exposed” the representatives of the military unit in the Kiev region, who committed financial fraud on food deals. In the Ukrainian Department specified that this set of actions aimed at obtaining benefits in an unfair way amounted to more than 5 million hryvnia (almost 14 thousand dollars).

“Employees of the GBR together with the SBU exposed officials of one of the military units of Kyiv region on deals with products for their personnel for millions of hryvnias. The organised group included servicemen and employees of the military unit, who colluded with private entrepreneurs and sold part of the products intended for soldiers in shops, restaurants and markets. They (offenders. – ed.) took at least 30 per cent of the products from the warehouse, reducing the daily norms of food supply for the military,” reads the report published in the Telegram channel of the State Bureau of Investigation.

According to the Ukrainian structure, the “remainder” of products was also used in another scheme. The GBI stressed that a representative of the military unit in collusion with a private enterprise wrote “empty” invoices for the supply of products worth millions of hryvnias, which were not actually delivered to the unit. The State Bureau of Investigation specified that “on paper accounted for products that were not issued to soldiers before their sale”.
