Details
According to him, the Ministry of Defense will provide the BEB with information about suspicious data in procurement. The Bureau's analysts will verify it, paying particular attention to pricing, the actual owners of companies, and other possible risks.
What we will have as a result is a much more complete picture of each case and each procurement. This is how we combat financial and corruption schemes. Fewer risks during procurement mean fewer risks for service members regarding the quality of goods and supply disruptions
He added that the effectiveness of defense procurement largely consists in preventing and minimizing threats before they cause any real harm.
