What is known about the Grinkevich scandal
Several months ago, the State Bureau of Investigation initiated criminal proceedings into transactions involving the purchase of clothing and linen for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Lviv businessman's companies won 23 tenders for the supply of clothing to the Ministry of Defense worth more than UAH 1.5 billion.
During the investigation, it was established that enterprises controlled by the businessman, which were previously engaged in construction and did not have the necessary facilities for the production and storage of clothing for the needs of the Ministry of Defense, were involved in the execution of orders. According to preliminary estimates, this led to budget losses of UAH 1.2 billion and, accordingly, a disruption in supplies.
Law enforcement revealed a complete failure to fulfill six contracts. Under at least seven agreements, enterprises delivered goods to the warehouses of military units only in small quantities, but received government funds for full fulfillment of obligations. It was also established that eight contracts were completed with a delay of 3 to 5 months.
