The Hrynkevych case
Businessman Ihor Hrynkevych is accused of attempting to bribe one of the heads of the SBI’s Main Investigation Department. He allegedly offered $500,000 for assistance in returning seized property (uniforms for the Armed Forces) that the SBI had been holding at customs for several months.
Ihor’s son, Roman Hrynkevych , was suspected in the case of contracts with the Ministry of Defense to provide the Armed Forces with uniforms. At first, he was accused of embezzling public funds, and then the qualification was changed to complaints about the quality of the uniforms supplied.
Amid the scandal, the Ministry of Defense canceled contracts with Hrynkevych’s company. It is also known that the Ministry of Defense had no complaints about the delivered goods and did not draw up any complaint reports at the time of the contract execution.
