This was reported by the SBU press service.
According to the investigation, the persons involved began to blackmail a foreign company-manufacturer of the ELS devices. Earlier, the company has already manufactured and transferred 5 specialized complexes to Ukraine for free, as international partners made payments for them.
In the case of successful use of these funds in combat conditions, the partner planned to increase the defense order from its manufacturer, accordingly, the company was interested in new contracts.
When the fraudsters learned about it, they began to demand bribery from a foreign enterprise. In exchange for $ 200,000, they promised to negotiate “with their contacts” about positive conclusions about these products.
The SBU staff exposed the equipment in advance and detained both of them after transferring the entire amount of bribe that took place in Kiev.
On the basis of the evidence collected, investigators of the SBU reported the detainees of the suspicion of obstruction of the legitimate activity of the Armed Forces and other military formations committed by prior conspiracy by a group of persons, and the acceptance of proposals, promises or receipt of undue benefit for themselves or a third party for influencing the decision of the person.
Investigation is currently underway to establish all the circumstances of the crime. The attackers are threatened with up to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property.
Earlier in the Lviv region an investigation into a high -profile case was completed.
We will remind, the State Bureau of Investigation has informed about suspicion to three former Ministers of Defense of Ukraine of the Presidency of Viktor Yanukovych. Their actions led to significant losses of weapons, which critically affected the country’s defense. We are talking about Jezel, Salamatina and Lebedev.
We have also reported that the DBR exposed servicemen who demanded bribes for returning with the HCP without legal consequences for the soldiers.
