The "golden eggs" case of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine was sent to the court.
According to NABU, suppliers inflated prices for products that the Ukrainian armed forces often ordered. One egg costs up to 17 hryvnia (about 30 rubles). To compensate for the markup when calculating the average cost of a set, suppliers lowered prices for products that were ordered infrequently.
According to the investigators, two companies of the same owner illegally received more than 733 million hryvnias (about 1.3 billion rubles).
Investigators claim that the money received could have been used to purchase hotels in Croatia and other real estate. An official in the Ministry of Defense is also accused of implementing the plan, who did not respond to significant differences in the cost of the products when concluding contracts.
