Drones-ghosts: a businessman from Luhansk "washed" millions from the defense budget

The State Bureau of Investigation exposed a large -scale scheme of theft of budget funds intended for the purchase of military goods. At the center of the criminal scam is an entrepreneur from the Luhansk region, who is suspected of appropriation of more than UAH 35 million during martial law.

According to the investigation, in 2023–2024 the entrepreneur concluded a number of contracts on the results of simplified purchases with three military units and one village council. Contracts provided the supply of quadcopters, night vision devices and other special -purpose goods. However, after receiving the money into the accounts of his FOP, the person involved actively withdraw funds through a number of fictitious companies.

The contractors, which transferred millions of hryvnias, had neither licenses nor production capacity or access to import of relevant products. In fact - no drone, no night vision was put. The money was actually "washed" under the guise of supply that did not exist.

The entrepreneur was informed of suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - Part 5 of Art. 191 (appropriation of property in particularly large sizes in the conditions of martial law) and Part 3 of Art. 209 (laundering of income from crime). In case of guilt, he faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
