Millions from the budget instead of ammunition went to buy an abandoned factory in Bosnia

The Croatian company WDG promet spent more than 5 million euros on the purchase of the Vitezit factory in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It turned out that the funds that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine allegedly paid for the supply of mortar mines in December 2022 were used for this purpose.
Before Ministry of Defense signed a contract with Lviv Arsenal LLC to supply Ukraine with 100,000 mortar mines for 37 million euros. "Arsenal" transferred part of these funds to the Slovak company Sevotech, where the former official of one of the enterprises of "Ukroboronprom" Oleksiy Khoroshayev worked as a member of the supervisory board.

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.
