During searches of the residence of one of the deputy chiefs of the Ministry of Economy, anti-corruption law enforcement agents seized cash as well as other pieces of technology.
Examining possible violations in the delivery of humanitarian aid
During searches conducted on Deputy Minister of Economy Oleksandr Hryban as part of an investigation into abuses related to the distribution of humanitarian aid, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau was able to seize 19,800 euros, 55,602 dollars, a mobile phone, and a laptop. This was all done as part of the investigation.
According to an article published by Slovo I Delo on December 12, the judgment of the Appeals Chamber of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court states this to be the case.
NABU’s investigation into Alexander Griban
As was previously mentioned, on November 23, investigators from the NABU conducted a search warrant at Alexander Griban and took possession of a 128 GB hard drive taken from a computer, an Apple MacBook Pro 13 laptop, and an iPhone X mobile phone made by Apple. They made an arrest. The prosecutor from the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office asked for the money to be seized because it is possible that it was obtained during the commission of a criminal offense.
NABU investigators and SAPO prosecutors are conducting an investigation into allegations that regional military administrations engaged in the illicit acquisition of pasta at inflated costs. NABU acknowledges that Oleksandr Hryban, using his official position, may have been able to campaign for the interests of Winside Light LLC in front of other officials working for the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Agricultural Policy and Food of Ukraine.
By selling pasta and other items at inflated rates at the expense of the state budget, Winside Light LLC and its executives wanted to fulfill their own economic objectives; thus, they engaged in lobbying to advance this goal.
“The prosecution’s attempt to appeal the decision was unsuccessful. The judgment that was handed down by the investigating judge of the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court on November 28, 2022, has not been altered in any way. According to the ruling, “the decision is final, it enters into force from the moment it is promulgated, and it is not susceptible to appeal at any time.”
Questioning several ministries
It is important to keep in mind that the NABU performed a search at the residences of the Deputy Minister of the Economy, Oleksandr Hryban, and the First Deputy Minister of Agricultural Policy and Food, Taras Vysotsky. Previously, investigators looked into another case of misappropriation of funds intended for humanitarian causes by conducting a series of searches in the Zaporozhye district.
