As part of the pre-trial investigation, which the SAP and NABU started in February 2020, the supplier company recognized the inadmissibility of the criminal actions committed by its own management and agreed to partially compensate UZ for the damage caused within six months.
Thanks to the coordinated work of the SAP and NABU during August-September 2023, this company compensated part of the damages – UAH 20 million. In general, the private company undertook to transfer UAH 68.16 million.
Materials related to other participants in the criminal scheme are allocated to a separate proceeding, the pre-trial investigation of which is ongoing.
