Three individuals, including the head of a strategic state-owned enterprise, its beneficial owner and an accountant, were charged with causing UAH 3.2 million in losses through a scheme involving overpriced contracts and falsification of documents.

Three people have been notified of suspicion of causing UAH 3.2 million in damage to a strategic state-owned enterprise. UNN reports this with reference to the SAPO.

As UNN has learned from its own sources, it is the general director of the state enterprise Leonid Shyman. This is not his first suspicion. In February 2023, a case against him was sent to court on suspicion of abuse of office, which caused more than UAH 43.3 million in losses to the state.

On April 2, 2024, in Dnipropetrovs'k region, under the procedural guidance of SAPO prosecutors, NABU detectives with operational support from the SBU exposed a scheme to misappropriate funds of a state-owned enterprise and cause damage to this enterprise in the form of lost profits.

Details

As of today, a notice of suspicion has been served in the case:

- to the head of the SOE;

- to the beneficial owner of a private enterprise

- and an accountant at a private enterprise.

It is reported that the actions of all suspects are qualified under Part 5 of Art. 191, Part 2 of Art. 364, Part 2 of Art. 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine

Thus, in 2015-2016, the head of the state-owned enterprise, which is a key enterprise for the defense and security of the state and in the period from 2002 to 2018 belonged to the management of the State Space Agency of Ukraine (currently managed by the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine), entered into a conspiracy with the beneficial owner of a private company.

 , the message says.

The SAPO reports that according to the contract concluded with the state-owned enterprise, after receiving 40% of the prepayment, the private company was supposed to deliver the measuring device to the plant, but despite having the necessary goods and receiving the prepayment, it did not do so. Later, on the basis of an additional agreement, the contract was terminated, and the accomplices ensured that the same private company won the tender for a new supplier.

It is reported that under the new contract, a private company supplied measuring devices, but at inflated prices, which was accompanied by falsification of documents during customs procedures (in terms of declaring prices for devices much higher than market prices) and during the tender (in terms of creating artificial competition by attracting a formal and controlled tenderer with a worse supply offer than the private company).

As a result of this scheme, the state-owned enterprise overpaid UAH 2.3 million for the delivered products and suffered losses of UAH 853 thousand in connection with lost profits due to the failure to take measures to impose penalties on the supplier. It is interesting to note that for the implementation of the scheme, the supplier company transferred EUR 43.5 thousand to the foreign account of the company of the SOE official's wife, registered in the Marshall Islands, under the guise of payment for agency services.

- SAPO informs.

In addition, the SAPO noted that during the pre-trial investigation, the NABU and the SAPO sent requests for international legal assistance to 12 foreign jurisdictions, including the Principality of Liechtenstein, Latvia and the Czech Republic. The responses received formed the basis of the prosecution's evidence base.
