Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted December 30, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 30, 2023 Ukraine arrests senior Defense Ministry official accused of embezzling $40 million A senior Ukrainian Defence Ministry official has been detained over allegations he embezzled 1.5 billion Ukrainian hryvnia ($40 million) relating to an artillery shells contract, according to the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). The SBU says the official signed an agreement with a special export company to purchase a wholesale batch of artillery shells in December last year. However, a more favourable contract for the supply was later signed with the same manufacturer – one that did not involve intermediaries. The SBU said this significantly shortened the delivery time and reduced the cost of the products. According to the SBU, the defense official extended the original – more expensive - contract and funds totalling 1.5 billion Ukrainian hryvnia ($40 million) were transferred to the accounts of an affiliated foreign intermediary firm. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
