Prosecutors of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office in the Defense Sector of the Central Region are supporting the public prosecution against the director of private enterprise X for the misappropriation of budget funds in particularly large amounts and the legalization (laundering) of income obtained through criminal means (Part 5 of Article 191, Part 1 of Article 209 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the investigation, a contract was concluded between the enterprise and one of the military units in November 2022 for the supply of uniform clothing for defense needs.

During December 2022, the head of the company ensured the delivery of products that, according to expert conclusions, did not meet the technical requirements of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Despite this, over 25 million UAH of budget funds were transferred to the accounts of his enterprise.

Part of the funds, over 3 million UAH, was legalized by the accused through the formation of artificial expenses - conducting financial transactions with an individual entrepreneur without actual delivery of goods or services.

During the pre-trial investigation, after notifying the entrepreneur of the suspicion, in January 2024, the prosecutor filed a motion with the court for the application of a preventive measure - detention.

The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv denied the motion. The Kyiv Court of Appeals left the prosecutor's appeal unsatisfied. Subsequently, the preventive measure was changed by the investigating judge to personal obligation.

Currently, judicial proceedings in this case are ongoing in the Desnyanskyi District Court of Kyiv. The next court session is scheduled for October 10 of this year.
