A former director of a state-owned defense company and three others were charged over a scheme to embezzle Hr 3.9 million ($106,500) in funds for Su-27 aircraft parts, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported on Dec. 8.
The former director of the state-owned enterprise, the head of the supplier company and two other accomplices have been notified of suspicion under two Articles of the CCU:
191.5 (misappropriation, embezzlement or seizure of property through abuse of office);
28.2, 366.1 (forgery in office, committed upon prior conspiracy by a group).
Government corruption (including military) has been a huge stumbling block for Ukraine to join NATO and the EU. Now it’s really biting them in the ass.
Business men gonna business.
But seriously, I feel bad for Ukraine.
