The case against the former First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Serhiy Gladkovskii, also known as Svynarchuk, was referred to the court. The prosecutors of the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAP) based on the materials of the pre-trial investigation by the detectives of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) sent an indictment to the court accusing the former first deputy secretary of the National Security Council, the former deputy minister of defense and the director of the department of the Ministry of Defense of causing damages to the state in the total amount of 17.44 million hryvnias.
In the course of the pre-trial investigation, it was established that Gladkovskiy (Svynarchuk) used the power and official position granted to him contrary to the interests of the service in order to obtain an unlawful benefit from a structure in which he and his close associates have a share of ownership, namely, PJSC "Automotive Company "Bohdan Motors" (Poroshenko's company).
Thus, the specified person ensured non-exclusion from the state defense order, despite non-compliance with the conditions stipulated by the government, and the subsequent purchase from the state budget of heavy-duty MAZ 6317 (Bogdan 6317) trucks from the subsidiary "Avtoskladny Zavod No. 2", which is part of PJSC "Automobilna "Bohdan Motors" company.
At the same time, the Deputy Minister of Defense and the Director of the Department of Military-Technical Policy for the Development of Armaments and Military Equipment of the Ministry of Defense organized the procurement of the aforementioned trucks within the framework of the state defense order. Despite the fact that these cars did not meet the requirements of the government, the company still received orders.
In addition, it turned out that the contract between the Ministry of Defense and the manufacturing company provided for a partial advance payment, as well as fixing the price of the goods. However, contrary to this condition, the price for the goods was increased and the officials responsible for the procurement of the Department of the Ministry of Defense agreed to it, having previously agreed on this issue with the Deputy Minister of Defense.
As a result, the company was illegally overpaid 17.44 million hryvnias. In October 2019, the former first deputy secretary of the NSDC, Gladkovskii-Svynarchuk, was notified of the suspicion. In April 2020 - to the former deputy minister of defense and director of the department of the Ministry of Defense. The specified persons have been charged with committing the crime provided for in Part 2 of Art. 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
Since June 2020, the defense has been familiarizing itself with the materials of the pre-trial investigation.
As of today, the pre-trial investigation in the case has been completed. The indictment was sent to the High Anti-Corruption Court for review on the merits.
