Ukraine continues to expose corruption schemes related to the provision of the army during the war. Another scandal was the scam in the purchase of military uniforms in 2022, which caused millions of dollars in losses to the state. According to the National Police, a former adviser to the Ministry of Defense and a current People's Deputy of Ukraine are involved in the criminal scheme.
In order to receive state funds for more than 1 million sets of clothing for the Ukrainian military under agreements concluded in 2022 at inflated prices, the former adviser to the ex-deputy minister of defense entered into a criminal conspiracy with the People's Deputies of the II-IV convocations. Also, the deputy's son and a foreigner - a fraudster of an international scale, who was repeatedly brought to criminal responsibility in France, Spain, Turkey and Indonesia - appear in the document.
The Turkish side reported that the price of making such a batch of uniforms was 25.6 million dollars, and issued a power of attorney to the fraudster to represent his interests. The intermediary concluded five agreements with MOU at inflated prices for the amount of more than 35 million dollars. More than 10 million dollars of the difference was supposed to "lie" in the pockets of the mediator, the advisor of the ex-deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense and the former people's deputy.
