The former head of one of the departments of "Ukrenergo" was informed of the suspicion of embezzlement of budget money for the purchase of body armor. He faces up to 6 years in prison.
The press service of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) writes about this.
The Security Service and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) discovered that in the spring of 2022, a high-ranking official organized the purchase of bulletproof vests for “Ukrenergo” employees at an inflated price.
The person involved in the procurement involved a contractor without a license for the production of military ammunition and without experience in the production of body armor.
The investigation found out that the exhibitor "Ukrenergo" bought a batch of bulletproof vests with state funds at twice the inflated price — this led to losses of more than 10 million hryvnias.
The figure was declared a suspect under Part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — abuse of office with grave consequences.
