The employees of the SBI have completed the investigation of the criminal proceedings against the former general of the Security Service of Ukraine Andriy Naumov. He is accused of embezzlement, fraud and abuse of office. This was reported to the SBI.
Despite the fact that the SBI does not name the person, it is clear from open sources that it is Andriy Naumov.
He is accused of having entered into notoriously unprofitable deals that caused hundreds of thousands of hryvnias in losses to the state, as well as fraud and abuse of office. The indictment was sent to the court
In 2018, the official headed one of the state enterprises. In this position, he signed a notoriously economically unprofitable contract with a fictitious company for the development of design and estimate documentation, as well as documents for its implementation. This caused severe consequences for the state-owned enterprise and was done in the interests of third parties. According to the DB, the state suffered losses of almost 371 thousand hryvnias.
In the period from September 2018 to May 2019, bonuses were awarded to the official for no reason. Due to such payments, he took possession of the company's funds worth more than 460,000 hryvnias.
In 2019, the official decided to go to work in the SBU.
Instead of resigning from the state-owned enterprise, the man informed the employees of the company's accounting and reporting department that he had allegedly been called up for military service in the SBU.
At the same time, he joined the SBU without being drafted and should have resigned from his previous job. However, thanks to the false information he provided, the company continued to pay him a salary as a conscripted soldier.
In this way, he simultaneously received a salary both at a state-owned enterprise (approximately 160,000 hryvnias per month) and at the SBU, and the losses caused to the state amounted to 3.2 million hryvnias
The former general of the SBU is accused of misappropriation, embezzlement of property or possession of it through abuse of official position, and abuse of power or official position (Part 4 of Article 191, Part 2 of Article 364 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), as well as fraud committed in particularly large sizes (Part 4 of Article 190 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to 12 years with confiscation of property.
The Pechersk District Court chose a preventive measure in the form of detention in absentia for the person involved.
Andriy Naumov got rid of the position of head of the Main Department of Internal Security of the SBU at the end of July 2021.
Naumov was arrested on June 7, 2022, when he was trying to get from Serbia to North Macedonia.
In Ukraine, Naumov was charged with two counts of misappropriation, embezzlement of property or possession of it by abuse of official position, and abuse of power or official position" and fraud and causing losses to the state in the amount of more than 3.2 million hryvnias.
In 2023, the High Court of the city of Nis sentenced Andriy Naumov, former head of the Main Department of Internal Security of the SBU, to one year in prison on charges of money laundering.
In January 2024, it was reported that Andrii Naumov, a former SBU general suspected of treason in Ukraine, who was sentenced to a year in prison for money laundering in Serbia, was released.
In August 2024, at the request of the SBU, Interpol declared former SBU general Andriy Naumov on the international wanted list.
