The case of the Hrynkevichs
In 2023, the State Bureau of Investigation began an investigation into the fact of the procurement of clothing and underwear for the Armed Forces. Companies of Lviv businessman Ihor Hrynkevych won 23 tenders for the supply of clothing to the Ministry of Defense worth over 1.5 billion hryvnias. The companies did not fulfill their obligations or did it improperly, which caused the state more than a billion hryvnias in losses.
On December 29, 2023, the businessman tried to bribe an investigator of the State Bureau of Investigation — then he was detained. Currently, the Ministry of Defense has terminated all contracts with Hrynkevychʼs companies, and the court has seized the property of his family and companies controlled by him.
Hrynkevichʼs son, Roman, is also involved in the case of procurement of clothing for the army. He tried to leave the country and was detained on January 22, 2024 in Odesa. Three more people involved in the procurement case were also detained — they, Ihor and Roman Hrynkevych are currently in custody.
Also, the State Bureau of Investigation has a decision to seize the property of the ex-fiancée of Roman Hrynkevych, the artist Sofia Morozyuk. Morozyuk herself rejects suspicions that she received apartments, cars or real estate from Roman Hrynkevych or his family. Morozyuk assures that during the period of the relationship, she received only an engagement ring and a necklace, which she promised to sell.
