The court supported the position of the prosecutor and found the exhibitor guilty of offering to provide 24 million hryvnias of illegal benefits for a positive audit of "Fortetsia" — the special purpose facility "The Unified Security Center of the Central Security Department of the Armed Forces of Ukrainian Armed Forces."
