DBR: the court took into custody the exposé of the Ministry of Defense, who “wrote” Hrynkevich almost UAH 94 million in fines

On November 12, the SBI informed the exhibitor of the Ministry of Defense about the suspicion”, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org

The Pechersk District Court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure in the form of detention of one of the ex-directors of the Ministry of Defense department – he is suspected of “writing off” almost UAH 94 million in fines to a Lviv businessman for overdue contracts.

As the press service of the State Bureau of Investigation reports in a telegram, the court determined as an alternative – bail in the amount of 50 million hryvnias.

On November 12, the SBI informed the expositor of the Ministry of Defense about the suspicion of abuse of power or official position (Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the agency, in 2023 the enterprises controlled by the businessman concluded contracts with the Ministry of Defense for the supply of military clothing – in particular, the companies signed 23 agreements worth over UAH 1.5 billion. Although at the time of signing the contracts, the companies controlled by the Lviv entrepreneur had neither their own production capabilities nor agreements with other companies to fulfill the agreements.

The employees of the SBI established that due to the actions of the former acting fines issued to the director of the department were unjustifiably reduced from almost UAH 98 million to UAH 4.5 million, i.e. by UAH 93.5 million.

The bureau does not specify which Lviv businessman it is about, but it is clear from the context that it is Ihor Hrynkevich.

He has been in custody since the end of December 2023. He was detained while trying to pay a bribe of 500,000 dollars to one of the heads of the main investigative department of the SBI for assistance in the return of property seized from companies under his control during the investigation of criminal proceedings. Then Hrynkevich was informed about the suspicion of offering an illegal benefit to an official. On January 17, he was also informed of the suspicion in the case regarding the procurement of clothing for the Armed Forces. According to the investigation, the amount of purchases reached almost 1 billion hryvnias.

Five members of the organization, which, according to the SBI, was created by Ihor Hrynkevich, were informed of the suspicion of creating and participating in a criminal organization, in fraud committed under martial law.

Roman Grynkevich, the son of Lviv businessman Ihor Grynkevich, wrote on Instagram on January 9 that his family’s activities were carried out within the framework of current legislation. He called the scandal itself “out of order.”
