Sevotech, in turn, transferred 12.5 million euros to the Slovak WDG promet, which belongs to the family of the famous Croatian arms dealer Zvonko Zubak.
Ukraine never received a single mine under this contract. Instead, Zubaki withdrew a significant part of the funds in cash , and 5.5 million euros were paid for the purchase of the Vitezit plant in the town of Vitez in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is confirmed by statements about the flow of funds on the WDG promet account, which journalists . WDG promet had no other income, apart from payments under contracts from Ukraine.
Vitezit is a plant for the production of gunpowder and ammunition, one of the largest in the former Yugoslavia. However, since the Yugoslav wars of the 90s, the plant did not work and was abandoned.
Later, the plant's property was put up for sale within the framework of the court process, and the Zubaks took advantage of this, spending money from the Ukrainian budget .
People's deputy Serhii Taruta, who was offered to take part in the privatization of Vitezit in 2022, told hromadske that the plant did not arouse any interest, as almost all production lines were destroyed. This information was also confirmed by the Czech businessman Kamil Babukh, who served the Zubaks as a banker and financial consultant for several years.
