Details
The investigation into the commander of a military unit in Dnipropetrovs'k region, who used public funds to organize the purchase of a batch of low-quality clothing for his subordinates worth almost UAH 140 million, has been completed.
The military made the deal with a private company that resold low-quality products. The contract was concluded without a tender and with an advance payment of 30% of the total contract value.
After the prepayment, the military unit received only a part of the quality clothing, and almost 140 million hryvnias worth of clothing was delivered that did not meet any quality standards and put the defenders in danger.
Despite the risks, the unit's management signed the necessary documents and made full payment for the defective goods.
