In Ukraine, a director of a group of commercial enterprises has been notified of suspicion for organizing the supply of construction materials for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, UNN reports with reference to the Prosecutor General's Office.
Under the procedural guidance of the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, the director of a group of commercial enterprises who organized the supply of construction materials for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has been notified of suspicion (Part 5 of Art. 27, Part 2 of Art. 28, Part 4 of Art. 111-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
Details
According to the investigation, after the start of the full-scale invasion, he established cooperation with enterprises of the aggressor state and the temporarily occupied Crimea. Through controlled structures, he ensured wholesale supplies of construction materials for the erection of military facilities—fortifications, defense enterprises, and repair bases of the occupying forces.
To conceal the activity, the business was re-registered to proxies in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and in the Russian Federation, but actual management was carried out from Ukraine. The suspect coordinated the work of the enterprises, defined the roles of participants, and controlled financial flows.
Despite the sanctions, the companies participated in tenders of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and fulfilled contracts for the supply of goods. During the full-scale aggression, they paid over 100 million rubles in taxes to the budget of the Russian Federation.
Financial support was provided by a female accountant from Kyiv, who remotely handled settlements and reporting. She was previously detained while attempting to travel abroad, and in November, the court sentenced her to 10 years of imprisonment with confiscation of property.
Currently, the director and three other individuals hiding in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea have been notified of suspicion. During the searches, documents, electronic media, and other evidence were seized.
