The Shevchenkivskiy District Court of Kyiv chose a preventive measure against Anton Kravts, one of the founders of the "Kyivguma" company. He will be held in custody for 60 days without bail.
This is stated in the commentary of the SBU for Babel.
The security service exposed the Kyivguma company for supplying takmed to Russia. The investigation believes that during 2022-2023, the company shipped to the Russian Federation batches of tactical harnesses and bandages of its own production in the amount of more than 40 million hryvnias.
The law enforcement officers also established that the occupiers were sending "Kyivguma" medical supplies to Russian military hospitals in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
- LLC "Kyivguma" works as a full-cycle enterprise and manufactures products from rubber, latex, PVC, TEP and silicone — more than 4,000 products. The company is owned by Andriy Ostrogrud (20%), Roman Kravets (40%) and Anton Kravets (40%).
- Earlier, Ostrogrud already reported on pressure from law enforcement agencies on his company and linked it to lobbying for the purchase of Chinese-made first-aid kits for the Armed Forces. The general director of "Kyivguma" is one of the initiators of the public movement "Manifesto 42", aimed at countering the corruption pressure on business from the rear security forces.
